A ballpark, not a loan offer. Swap in the rate a lender actually quotes you; 6.75% is only a placeholder. The payment counts principal, interest, your tax-and-insurance figure, and a typical mortgage insurance charge (FHA 0.55% a year, conventional 0.5%, USDA 0.35%, VA none). Texas property taxes run high, so don't skimp on that box.
