Factors that Influence Affordability
Buying a property is one of life's biggest investments, and understanding your real payment capacity is crucial. Various financial factors are considered by banks and yourself to determine how much you can spend:
- Income: Your gross monthly income is the foundation. Banks typically limit the income commitment to financing installments.
- Debts: The total of your monthly debts (credit cards, other loans) affects your borrowing capacity.
- Down Payment: A larger down payment reduces the financed amount and, consequently, the installments and interest.
- Interest Rate and Term: Directly affect the monthly installment value and the total financing cost.
