and HOA fees annually. About to pull the trigger on this golf course property.... Property tax + golf course HOA = $32k per year.

HOA is $2k, tax is $30k.

In any event, double gross income is safe so $750k

Shouldn’t buy more than 4x or 5x one’s gross income is the rule of thumb

So 300-400k

2. The 28% rule

If you’re following this general rule, you shouldn’t spend more than 28% of your gross income (what you take home before taxes) on your mortgage payment (principal and interest).

Example: If your household income is $100,000, then you can afford to spend around $2,300 on your mortgage principal and interest per month; with these numbers, and assuming you have good credit (a score of 680+) and 6.7% for a down payment, then you should be looking at homes priced around $450,000.

Net worth? Down payment? Being "house poor" would be rough, and you risk falling into foreclosure if you cut it too close on income and get behind on mortgage payments.

If you have 7 figures invested (you wouldn't be asking if you had more than that invested), you (a) don't need to save as much, as you should earn $100k+ each year in investment growth, and (b) don't have to worry about foreclosure nearly as much.

Assuming you're putting 20% down and looking at something like $10k/month PITI + HOA, I'd say you need $350k HHI if you have good savings/investments, $500k HHI (and good job security) if you don't.

The problem is the $30k property taxes. At least with RE you can justify it bc it’s an “asset.” $30k is Ruinous. Like 20% of OYT’s net worth.
