A message from Jon Bodan:

Get ready to rock and figure out what your payment might look like. Remember that this doesn't include Property Taxes, Property Insurance, and PMI (if it applies to you). If you figure $150/mo for insurance, 1% of the property price for taxes, and .5% of the loan amount per year for PMI you should be pretty close, though.
