Based on a $5000 down payment, a fixed 5% rate and a credit score above 700, several calculators (here and at closing.com) have determined that monthly payments (including estimations for taxes and PMI/homeowner's insurance) could be anywhere between $480-580.  Does this sound accurate?

The yearly property tax should amount to around $600 based on the asking price according to: http://www.ci.garland.tx.us/Home/Departments/City Administration/Financial Services/Tax/T06 Tax Rate Information_Tax landing.htm

Closing costs (according to closing.com) are calculated to be on what seems to be the high side (over $12,000, including a home inspection).  From what I understand, one can borrow against the first home home buyer tax credit to help pay for said costs.]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:57:53 PST]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Has anyone worked with NACA in the Dallas area as a buyer or as a realtor?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/Has_anyone_worked_with_NACA_in_the_Dallas_area_as_-133291]]></link><description></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Fri, 5 Jun 2009 07:29:08 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Apartment locator]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Agent2Agent/Apartment_locator-179572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hi all, I have several questions.

All too often the builder writes their contract in such a way that the buyer unknowingly gives up all their legal rights in the event of a dispute. I also recommend asking to see the builder's insurance policy prior to purchase. All too often the builder doesn't carry insurance leaving homeowners to fend for themselves when something goes wrong.]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:54:37 PST]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can window screens be placed on windows after iron burgular bars are installed?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Remodel_and_Renovate/How_can_window_screens_be_placed_on_windows_after_-177772]]></link><description></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Mon, 9 Nov 2009 18:40:10 PST]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[What are those fees?
