HOW MUCH MORTGAGE CAN YOU AFFORD?
Buying a home is a big decision. Since it is something most people do not
do too many times in their lives, it might be difcult to know exactly how
much of a mortgage one can aford. Here are three easy steps to help you
figure out how much of a mortgage you can handle without going broke in
the process.
Create a Budget Your first step is to create a budget so you can
easily see how much money you have coming in compared to
your expenses. Be sure to include both short-term and long-term
investments and other savings. Make sure you have at least six-months worth of mortgage
payment sin your short-term savings in case you experiences and unexpected financial
setback.
Account for Increased Expenses When you buy a home some of your expenses will
increase and you will also have some new expenses that you have not had to worry about
previously. You will need money for homeowner’s insurance, property taxes, utilities and
possibly association dues on top of your mortgage payment.
Determine Your Optimal Mortgage Payment Your budget will spell out exactly how much
money you have left over to pay your mortgage. If you cannot aford the mortgage payment
you want to have, you will adjust some of your budget items. For example, you can look for
ways to lower your car insurance costs or take a less expensive vacation.
