You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you can afford a loan of 135,276.81.

here are the resls from using the calculator at https://arachnoid.com/finance/

your inputs were:
present value = 0
future value = 0
number of time periods = 30 years * 12 = 360 months.
interest rate per time period = 7% per year/ 12 = .583333....% per month
payments are made at the end of each time period.
calculator says present value = 135,276.81.
that's the amount of money you can loan.

you made 360 payments of 900 each for a total of 324,000 over the term of the loan.
interest you paid over the term of the loan = that minus 135,276.81 = 188,723.19.

here are the results from using the calculator.
