HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED TO MAKE TO AFFORD A $465,000 HOME?

Transcript

How much do you need to make to afford a $465,000 home? Here's how much you need to make to afford it. So we're at $465,000 and going to be doing a 30 year fixed Home Possible loan. So there's income restrictions but it does allow you to just do 3% down. So all in I have to bring in $13,950, have my down payment. As for closing costs estimated at $12,000, the county and state will determine closing costs as well. But the seller or able to cover my closing costs, I will have to bring in $25,950. This is cash to close. Now, payment. We have principal interest, taxes insurance, we also have mortgage insurance because we are only doing 3% down. This is why it is so critical to have your credit score top tier. To reduce the rate mortgage insurance to be charged. But assuming top tier, a 0.29% mortgage insurance. Now, payment altogether, $3,532 per month. Now to find out minimum, what we have at in order to qualify, possible. So it's similar to an FHA loan. Additional restrictions you to your debt income ratio. That means I need to be making 2.3 times that amount. So $8,124. I need to be making. But my recommendation would be to bump this to 2.5. This makes everything comfortable and more as a factor. This is making $8,830. You'll still qualify at that at that other number, $8,124. But the true limiter, what I would consider the house poor limiter, is truly making sure that you're keeping money continuing to invest in other avenues at $9,890. This is the best. But if we can get here too. Send me a DM if you'd like me to run your scenario.
