The Numbers Don't Lie

Look at this scenario:

Purchase Price:  $150,000
Down Payment:  $5,250 (3.5% of Purchase Price)
Loan Amount: $144,750 (Purchase Price minus Down Payment)
Interest Rate:  4.94% (http://www.bankrate.com/ as of 05/19/2010)
Term: 30 Year Fixed
Payment: $771.75 (Principal and Interest)
Monthly Payment for Taxes and Insurance: $400 (An Estimate)
Mortgage Insurance: $100 (An Estimate)
Total Monthly Payment: $1,271.75

If you have a 620 credit score, money saved for a down payment and closing costs, can document your income, you can own a home. How much are you paying for rent? If it is close to the total monthly payment in this scenario, you could be paying that money towards your own home. Of course the numbers in this scenario can be more or less depending on the purchase price of your new home.
