Understanding Mortgage Payments and Interest

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the maximum loan you can afford with a $1,500 monthly mortgage payment using a 30-year fixed loan at 6% interest. It demonstrates using the TVM solver on a TI-84 calculator to find the present value of the loan, calculate the total payment over 30 years, and determine the total interest paid. The tutorial highlights that the interest paid is more than the loan amount.
