alright, i’ve been trying to save and buy a home for years now. might be able to do it this year but im having an incredibly hard time understanding the moving parts of a home loan. excluding everything but the principal and interest on a loan, how does a 7%APR on a loan of $300k end up making you pay like $750k over the course of 30 years ??? i also saw that home loans are front loaded for the interest first…. 7% of 300k is 21k but people talk about paying interest for the first 2-3 years of their mortgage… im not totally understanding how the interest is factored into the monthly payment.

I got a $130k home loan and only $117 a month is going to the principal. I’m so pissed. It seems like this should be illegal!
