You bought grandma's house.
When you bought grandma's house, the tax assessment was $200,000.
You paid $500,000 for it.
Her taxes, because she was 65 years old, are $871 a year.
Your taxes are $6,000 a year.
Are you budgeting for every single thing that it's going to cost you to live in that house?
So what is the price range that you need to be?
In my opinion, you honestly need to be 20%.
Your payment needs to be 20% of your monthly income, period, bottom line.
That gives you plenty of room if something goes wrong.
Because what they would say, what your lender is going to say is you could buy up to 28 to 32 percent of what your monthly income is.
Well, you shouldn't buy up to 28 to 32 percent, because if you do, you leave no room for insurance and taxes to go up.
And you can't turn on the heat and it'll get cold in Atlanta.
Can't turn on the air conditioning is going to get hot in L.A.
Like you, you need to think through all of the cost.
All of the costs.
The total cost to own.
The total cost to own isn't the $3,000 mortgage payment.
And that's what you think.
Forget about insurance.
