Principal, interest, taxes, insurance & HOA
The principal is the amount you borrow, and interest is what the lender charges you to borrow that money. This portion of your payment goes directly to paying off your loan.
Charlotte property taxes average around 1.0% of your home's value annually. These taxes fund local schools, roads, and public services.
Homeowners insurance protects your investment from damage, theft, and liability. Most lenders require insurance before approving your loan.
If you're buying in a community with a homeowners association, monthly HOA fees cover maintenance of common areas, amenities, and community services.
