Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the minimum down payment is 20%, so you will need to have $48,000 in 6 years.
at 5.7% per year compounded monthly, your monthly payments will be $560.7188228.
when the day arrives, you will pay your $48,000 down payment and will need to take out a $192,000 mortgage.
the monthly payments on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage for $192,000 at 2.6% per year would be equal to $768.6522461.
