I would like to understand the tax benefits of buying a house a bit better and how to do the math.

If I get a 400.000 loan over 30 years at a 5% interest rate, then my monthly payments will be somewhere between $2100 and $2300 (based on online mortgage calculators).

I understand that the interest on the loan is tax deductible part. Can anyone help me figuring out how much money that would save me per year?

My dad is in process of filing Bankruptcy. He is filing by himself, and his lawyer says my mom won’t get affected. Our Mortgage is going to increase in two months. Since Obama has released this new system on lowering interest rates on mortgage payments will I be allowed to co-sign with my mom and remove my dads name with a credit score of bout 590 and an income of $2500/month? I also do have a bad debt ratio, but I do pay my bills on time. Our house is worth $630,000 and my mom makes about $3000 – $4000 a month. What do you guys think? Do you think they’ll lower our interest rates if my dad is in process of filing bankruptcy? Or take him off and have me take over instead?
So if I do a joint, will be able to be approved? On a side note, my mom has really good credit.

I am buying a house with my husband but our credit is less than stellar. We were approved for a loan but with a nominally high (6.75) interest rate and the monthly payment is doable but will have us paying more than 3 times the value of the home over the course of the mortgage. Our credit is at such a state that it will be repaired in about a year or two and we will be back to the excellent credit scores we had before my husband lost his job. What exactly is refinancing? Does it involve a lender paying back the entire principal of the loan and clearing our name with the current lender, and then relending us the money with more attractive numbers? If so, what are the chances of us being able to do that? How does it work?
