@Andrew McManamonusing your numbers, which I assume come from the amortization table...5.5% for 30 years = $5.68 per $1,000$5.68 (x) = $1000x = $1000/$5.68 = 176.1 (rounding)176.1 * $1000 = $176,100$176,100or4.5% for 20 years = $6.40 per $1,000$6.40 (x) = $1000x = $1000/$6.40 = 156.3 (rounding)156.3 * $1000 = $156,300$156,300Therefore, the largest loan the buyer can afford is 5.5% at 30 years or $176,100
