I would say you would need to net 4500 a month. Which would be a job making about 73k. $192 MTG Insurance pmt? Damn thats high.


That's what I was figuring as well (~75k).

I've been going back and forth between buying a "starter home" for around 200k and having it all to myself and buying a more permanent, larger house and renting 1 or 2 rooms out to friends. The only reason I'm considering the latter is due to me not wanting to give up the awesome interest rate I would be picking up.

You guys are right on with the salary. I do have a car note and I definitely overspend on the weekends, which makes my rainy day fundage a lot lower than Id like.

I would do the latter if I could... But a starter home up here is minimum 550k unfortunately unless I want an hour commute
