So what I am guessing is that he missed a few payments along the way. We have what his starting price is and what he had on his bankruptcy form but I am guessing at some point throughout his 6 years or so living and paying for this Khando, he missed a few payments which would obviously increase his monthly payments. Other than that, everything you had set up is correctThanks dude! Maybe you can double check my work for me since you're also a numbers guy. I actually didn't get to the 5% rate by looking at historical numbers (it was just kinda the easiest way to convey the info to a general audience).
What I did was I plugged his approx. date of service and known mortgage balance into an amortization calculator, and worked BACKWARDS. Since we know his original loan amount, and we know what his balance was as of Jan/Feb 2020 thanks to the bankruptcy documents (and assuming he only made minimum payments), I plugged in several different assumptions on his interest rate and looked at what his balance would have been around Jan/Feb 2020 to see if it matched up with his bankruptcy docs.
I think I ended up somewhere between 4.875% and 5.0% where the numbers mostly lined up. You can see some of this here:

If his interest rate was higher than normal than maybe he took out some points on his original mortgage? You know how he likes to rob Peter to pay Paul
I'm not on my home PC right now but I'll check again when I get off work to make sure I didn't screw up too badly.
Thanks for the feedback!
