Would ya feel comfortable with a $9K mortgage if you Net $15K and partner nets $5K.

Aka $300K Gross + $80K Gross = $480K salary.

That's one layoff away from losing a home lol. Also hard to rehire at $300K+ quickly.

Rule of thumb to live comfortably mortgage should be 30% of take home pay.

At 9k you'd need 30k take home pay for that.

To be comfortable....

So a family need to be making 58K to 60K per month pre-tax, so you take home 30K...to live in that.

That makes sense, though, because if you are making 720K a year... saving for the 340K downpayment actually seems realistic

================================================== ===

To be 1 layoff away

family need to be making 40K per month pre-tax, so you take home 20K

saving for the 340K downpayment with 480K annual income.... slower but doable

The "rule" is 30% gross on housing, but what you said is more reasonable to me, but I think at these costs, it doesn't mean much any more. If you are at 40% of your income on your mortgage on a 20k net monthly income, you're doing way better than someone that's 25% on an 8k net. The numbers above the housing costs are so crazy. We are around 20% of net on mortgage and it still feels tight because food is like 20% too.

Right now most people won't qualify for a 9k mortgage, but those who are paying that much right now are paying that because they started at record low interest rates and got variable.

Ah my mistake. Makes me feel a bit better tbh coz we're running at about 25% gross but 36% net so I was thinking we overextended. But sounds like it's within the "rule of thumb"

That said you're right everything else is expensive now so the remaining % still doesn't feel like it goes very far at all. I'm still basing my weekly meals around what's on sale in the flyers.

if you're a surgeon, doctor, lawyer, police and other special careers, you're able to borrow 90% of your income.

you'll need 350 - 400k income in order to maybe own a mortgage at 1.5 M ... depending what interest rate you're getting.

When you look at how the land was setup before, it looks even more retarded. Who wants to live in a slenderhouse where everyone gets to smell your farts no matter where you toot them?

If you're not-yet-but-almost a doctor they'll let you borrow >100% of your current income (mortgage qualification based on "future income") and use your Line of Credit to pay the downpayment....

I think you guys are thinking too far, who buys a detached house as first home. It's bachelor's suites. $500k at 20% $100k down.

Personally, other than the slightly lower price tag, I never understood the allure of purchasing a bachelor suite. If you are shelling out that much money on the DP + mortgage, wouldn't you want to get something bigger (even if it is just by a little, with a dedicated room or something), and as well having a unit that would be able to meet your life's needs for a longer period of time as well? (Say, by being able to accommodate an additional person -- ie. your significant other -- when life progresses?)

Or am I just being an entitled prick who is oblivious to the insane price pressures of someone looking for a starter homer?

As someone in the finance field, doctors are one of the most difficult people to deal with for financial matters. They are super smart and well educated in their medical field, so they think it translates to everything else.

I always push for the same thing, if you are looking at a 1bed, should try and stretch for a 1b + den or even a 2b. But, I must say for some people that extra 60k going from a 1b to 1b + den may be the the tipping point.

And for those that stretched on a variable mortgage, it would really be hurting right now.

I had a friend that went through that exact situation where he ended up just going with the 1b and didn't try for the den. His income is about $65k but had about 200k of dp. His payments were 12xx but is now 22xx. The reason why he can still keep up? He met a girl and they consolidated together because she was renting and it made more sense to move in. It also now means they can't break up cause neither of them can afford to.

I know exactly what you are talking about, because I've dealt with a few people like that, and it is very annoying / aggrevating. But in most cases, I would say it is more of an issue with smart and conceited people than it is with doctors.

In any case, the very smartest people tend to be the ones with a dose of humility to go with their smarts, instead of these smart and conceited types.

$400000 mtg given current stress test will need about $99000 gross annual. At 30y repayment. So young professionals are pretty much stuck with bachelor's. You need $108000 to stretch that extra $50k for slightly larger. But then all costs will also go up, strata, insurance, heat, tax etc. Surrey lyfestyle yo

Sounds like Lawyers and construction, if you're a contractor you never want to do work for a lawyer they are much more likely to try and screw you or fuck up your money.

It's happening!

That townhouse development on 33rd/Gladstone that has been sitting unfinished for the better part of the last 3 years is finally getting going again. I can't believe it's actually possible - figured it'd have to be torn down.
