Loan Amount = The amount you will finance (home value - down payment). Interest Rate = This number will vary, speak with your real estate agent or lender for an accurate rate. Loan Term = The number of years you will be financing the loan (usually 15 or 30 years). Property Tax = Contact the Calcasieu Parish Assessor, agent or lender. PMI = When your down payment is less than 20%, you usually have to pay for Mortgage Insurance, (PMI).
