Answer #1

The PV of payments for 30 years
Rate per month = 5%/12
Number of Periods = 20*12 = 360

PV of Payments using financial calculator
N = 360; I/Y = 5%/12; PMT = 1200; CPT PV
PV = 223,537.94

Maximum affordable House = Down payment + PV of Monthly Payments
Maximum affordable House = 20% of Loan amount + 223,537.94

Maximum affordable House = 223,537.94/0.8 = 279,422.43

Please Discuss in case of Doubt
