The reason is that what contractors might charge to remove the current flooring, especially in cases of tile and hardwood, can vary wildly. Installation costs can vary just as much, so we would recommend contacting 2-3 contractors and asking how much they charge per square foot for removal and installation of flooring.
Multiply the amount of your loan times the total number of points as a percentage. Using figures from the above steps, the three points bought with a $400,000 mortgage would cost $12,000: $400,000 x 0.03 = $12,000.
If you have a 401(k) worth at least $90,000, you can borrow up to 50 percent of it, allowing you to only take a mortgage loan of $240,000 (80 percent of the purchase price) and avoid mortgage insurance. The mortgage payment would be $1,288. In this scenario, your 401(k) loan will be for $45,000.If your 401(k) loan is also at 5 percent interest, on a typical five year repayment, your payments to yourself will be $850. This makes for a total monthly payment in the first five years of $2,138.hile there are a number of ways you can borrow the money needed for a down payment, with a loan against your 401(k), you will be paying back the principal and interest on the loan to yourself, not to some other bank.
