Should I buy a $1 million dollar home?

Yes why not. But first you have to confirm that you have many daily based expenses as well like;
  • Auto /Transportation expense
  • Charitable Donations expense
  • Child Care expense
  • Clothing expense
  • Debt Payments expense
  • Entertainment expense
  • Groceries / Dining Out expense
  • Fitness expense
  • Gifts Given (Christmas & birthday gifts, etc.) expense
  • Hobbies expense
  • Household Maintenance expense
  • Insurance other than medical/dental expense
  • Investments expense
  • Medical/Dental expense
  • Miscellaneous expense
  • Savings
  • Subscription expense
  • Utilities expense
  • Vacation expense
And many other expenses
And if you have enough income after all these expenses than you should buy a house worth $1M or more
So if you wish to get a mortgage of $1M
1: Your PITI should less than 28% of your gross salary.
PITI is principal: Interest: Taxes: Insurance.
Calculation:
$1,000,000*28/100=$280,000
2: Your DTI should less than 36% of your gross salary.
DTI contains:
Mortgage, credit card payments, child support and other loan payments
Calculation:
$1,000,000*36/100=$360,000
3: Down payment of 20%.
$1,000,000*20/100=$200,000
Remember; down payment directly affect your total amount of mortgage.
More the down payment will minimize the interest rate on mortgage.
According to a survey a person can get a mortgage double or even more than double of his salary, so if you are willing to get a mortgage of 1M your salary or income must be;
$1,000,000/2= $500,000
$1,000,000/2.5= $400,000

If you were buying your first home, what information would you want to know?

I want to share my own experience about my first home.
I don’t have enough savings to get my own home.
But my husband insists me to get our own home, because landlord was not good.
So I decide to get a mortgage, but before I get mortgage I was afraid of this.
Even I don’t know what the procedure is and what are the terms and conditions and what question I have to know etc.
All I know is my salary was $75,000 and my husband salary was $100,000.
I visited a lender, he guide me about credit score, PITI, DTI and some about down payment according to my income.
He ask me few questions and do calculations
1: Is your PITI less than 28%?
PITI is principal: Interest: Taxes: Insurance.
Calculation:
$175,000*28/100=$49,000
2: Is your DTI less than 36%?
DTI contains:
Mortgage, credit card payments, child support and other loan payments
Calculation:
$175,000*36/100=$63,000
3: Down payment of 20%.
Remember; down payment directly affect your total amount of mortgage.
More the down payment will minimize the interest rate on mortgage.
According to survey a person can easily afford mortgage double or even more than the double of his salary. So according to your salary
$175,000*2= $350,000
$175,000*2.5=$437,000
You can easily afford from $350,000 to $437,000 if DTI and PITI is under control.
So we go with $437,000 and now we are happy.
Hope this will help you, but for further details feel free to visit:
