Be Life Rich, Not House Poor

Rita Cousins Senior Mortgage Advisor • May 17, 2019

Buying at the top end of your pre-approval price could be setting you up for many dull years to follow.

WHY?????

BECAUSE, YOUR HOME COST IS MORE THAN JUST A MORTGAGE PAYMENT.

There are property taxes, maintenance, utilities and more due every month. If those add up to 35% of your total income, you’re on the right track.

If not you might have to sacrifice in other categories such as vacation, debt repayment or savings. Take a look at the pie chart to see how you can be life rich instead of house poor!
