How much can you afford?

💡 Plan Smart — Buy Within Your Comfort Zone

It can be discouraging to realize that your current income may not stretch to the home you’ve been dreaming of, but overextending yourself financially can quickly turn homeownership from a joy into a burden. A smarter approach is to start with a comfortable, modest home now — one that fits your lifestyle and budget — and build toward your dream property in the years ahead.

There are many important questions to consider when purchasing a home. Avoid time-consuming and costly mistakes and put my experience to use.

ARE YOU READY FOR HOME OWNERSHIP?

Owning a home may be your dream, but in order for the purchase to be the happy and satisfying experience it was meant to be, you need to ensure that you are financially and mentally prepared for the responsibilities that come with it.

Some people have a notion that home ownership is like renting, but with the power to have pets and paint the walls whatever color you like. However, while these privileges are available to homeowners in most municipalities, they come with the responsibilities of a mortgage, taxes and home maintenance. Preparing for home ownership requires you to take critical stock of your finances and your expectations.

QUESTIONS FOR PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS

ARE YOU READY TO BUY?

Owning your own home is about more than just being able to decorate any way you like; it's about being prepared to maintain your home over the years, realizing that part of your income and time will go towards repairs and maintenance. It's about being willing to take the risks of home ownership with a realistic expectation of the rewards.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU AFFORD?

It can be discouraging to find that your salary won't stretch as far as the home you want to own. However, sacrificing a huge part of your income just to pay the mortgage can very quickly make home ownership a burden rather than a point of pride. It's better to buy a modest home now and look at purchasing your "dream home" in a few years.

WHAT IS YOUR DEBT-TO-INCOME RATIO?

This is something that lenders take very seriously. Your overall debt should not be more than 40% of your income, and your housing debt should not be more than 32%. What 32% of your income will buy depends on where you want to live. In rural or downtrodden areas for example, it can buy a very comfortable residence and ample acreage. In highly sought-after urban areas however, it will be considerably less.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Do you like the idea of cleaning your own gutters? Do you shudder at the thought of lawn care? Would you rather just pay a fee every month and have everything done for you? Would obeying rules about when you can have your garbage cans out bother you, or do you want to live in a neighborhood where everything is 'just so'? The answers to these questions can help you narrow down the search for the right type of property for you.
