Let's just say the person's putting 5% down doing a conventional loan, taxes and homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance. The total monthly payment would be somewhere around 2,500 bucks a month. And let's say they drive a car, $500 a month. They have credit card minimum payments, $200 a month, and they have a $50,000 student loan that is deferred. Lenders have to plug in at least a half percent estimated monthly payment. That'd be 250 bucks a month. Round all that out, that's $3,450 a month in total debt.
