Here's another one - if you are early in your career and buying a place to stay in for the next 20-30 years while you raise a family, you might want to consider buying a bit more than you can afford right now. The idea here is that presumably you'll get some significant salary increases in the next 5-10 years and it'll work out.


This is horrible advice.

I've been told by a friend who is an agent that for what we want to do, get as much house as we can afford.

I mean we're not going nuts its a 4 bedroom 3.5 bath, 3 car garage, and finished basement.

I'm certainly not buying something I can't afford.
