Q2. Calculate the total interest Annie will pay over the 15 year period.
Q3. How much more interest would Annie pay by paying for the home in 30 years rather than 15 years?
Q4. The annual taxes on Annie's property come to $7100, and she pays $535 for insurance each year. Find her monthly PITI payment if she takes a 15 year loan.
