18% of income on mortgage is kinda high imo
18% of take home pay seems really low to me

Let’s take someone making 175-200k a year. Their take home monthly pay is roughly10k. You telling me a mortgage of $1,800 would be high? That’s like a 275k house….

Our mortgage is 13% of our take home income.

With bad credit or a high rate maybe. Also little to no down payment

Was just coming to say this. That’s literally almost exactly my stats. And it just gives my wife less money to blow on the first paycheck of the month. I pay more in childcare for my two kids than my $1800 mortgage.

Someone making 200k is not paying 80 in taxes. I live in a no income tax state, but still, there's no way.

18% of take home on a mortgage isn’t a lot at all (ours is 22%), but if you bought anytime in the last couple years with good interest rates, and had a 20% down payment a $1,800 could be the mortgage for a 425k home.
