PITI

Q:
What is PITI?
 
A:
The monthly home payment will usually include more than just the loan payment. The PITI payment represents the entire monthly payment including: Principle & Interest, Property Taxes, Mortgage Insurance and Hazard Insurance. When shopping for a loan many advertisers will simply quote the loan payment (Principle & Interest) and not the total monthly payments. Be careful, as this may mislead you into believing that a particular home is more affordable. Taxes and Insurance can be several hundreds of dollars added to your monthly payment. In addition, there may be Home Owner’s Dues required.
