You are deciding to purchase an investment property in an ideal location you prefer. You would address the following issues before buying the property (ignore all the taxes, realtor agency fee, the transition fee in the calculation. Only consider the purchasing price as the total cost. Also, ignore the house insurance fee, etc. Only consider monthly mortgage and rent.): 1) Decide on the location and the specific real estate property you would like to buy (e.g., a single-family house or a condo). Please provide justification for why the property is chosen, e.g., affordability, the potential for price appreciation. Use some data to justify your selection, e.g., the housing price growth rate in the region. You could use resources like zillow.com, etc. 2) Find out the mortgage rates for different properties and choose between a 30 or 15-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM). You could use bankrate.com, etc. You must justify your decision. 3) Calculate the monthly mortgage payment given the down payment (20% of the price) you will make. This will be a fixed 80% payment mortgage loan with a 20% down payment. It means you will pay 20% down payment at the purchase and finance 80% with the mortgage. Please show your calculations of monthly mortgage payments in the report.
