Reply to comment by pookiedookie232 in [OC] House price you can afford by paying 1000/month for 30 years vs. interest rate by hmiamid

If your house price is $0 then you cannot accrue interest so you cannot logically have a payment of $1000 (or any amount really)

Yep, once I looked at the formula I was like, "Doh!" Can never actually be zero. But it could be less than half a cent, which is essentially zero due to rounding in financial systems. I calculated that 240,480,000% interest will net a $1,000 payment for 360 months on a .499 cent loan.
