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….

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.
