I think he's got a basic idea of how much it's going to cost

True, I only wanted to make sure Darwin was prepared for the payment to be a bit higher once the escrow was added in. I know that our escrow payment is a couple hundred dollars a month, which might make a difference. I’ve always heard that 1% of the total price is a good guess for a monthly payment, though in the current climate that might be a bit high. Still, it’s been close for my last two homes, if that says anything.

Of course, if your wife does this for a living I should defer to you.
