If you put 20% down, you have to finance (borrow) the remaining 80%:
 
($140,000)*(0.80) = $112,000
 
Assuming annual compounding, the total payment you'll make is given by the formula below( if you're using simple interest, the formula is A = P + P*r*t):
 
A = P*(1 + r/n)nt
 
where:
  • A = total amount to be payed
  • P = amount borrowed = $112,000
  • r = annual interest rate expressed as a decimal = 6% = 0.06
  • n = number of compoundings per year = 1?
  • t = time in years
 
A = $112,000*(1.06)25 = $480,689.52
 
You will make 25*12 = 300 monthly payments over 25 years, so the monthly payment is:
 
Monthly payment = $480,689.52/300 = _______?
 
The interest you'll pay is A-P = $480,689.52 - $112,000 = $368,689.52.  I'm not sure how to spread the monthly cost of interest.  You could simply divide the interest by 300; but in the real world, interest is not spread evenly but is weighted more heavily toward the early months.
