What factors affect my monthly mortgage payment on a $200K loan?

The other major factor that influences your monthly mortgage payment on a $200K loan is your interest rate. We already mentioned that the length of your loan can impact your interest rate, but other factors like your credit score, loan-to-value ratio and down payment amount also come into play. A higher interest rate means a higher monthly payment.
