For many people, it happens with larger purchases, like buying a car. When it comes to shopping for a house, most folks have an idea of what they can afford as a monthly payment, but they may get sticker shock on the cash required to close (i.e. down payment and closing costs).While the bank calculates both your front-end ratio (typically 28% of your gross monthly income) and your back-end ratio (typically 36% of your gross monthly income minus your ...
