enough to pay outright cash so I dont get caught with all the interestSIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

depends on how much you put down, the location & how much it'll appreciate & how fast, as well as what your other bills are like, if there's any additional income coming from somewhere else like say, a wife, roommates, etc.... and right down to what you're comfortable shelling out every month.SIG TOO BIGComment

Buying whole upfront???
BTW this question cannot be answered anyway.
You can earn $50k per month but spend $45k and you can make $20k per month and spend $5k on your lifestyle.
Also depends, if you are alone or have a wife + 3 kids + payments for your recent Ferrari.I don't use ICQ anymore.Comment

Exactly if an area is going up 15-20% a year and you can borrow at %5 as long as you can cover the mortgage buying a 500k house it a smart move for anyone.Originally posted by Amputate Your Head

Do you plan on having that home forever and possibly living there forever? Is that going to be THE home?
If so, how much are you going to put downComment

Just do what I did. Go back in time 2 years, buy a house in Las Vegas for $273k, and today it would be worth $500k+ like mine.Comment

Geez, I live in San Francisco -- where you can't buy a house for less than $500k.

here is something to remember:
The reason why there are so many forclousures is because people dont think straight, for example:
Someone starts a business or gets a good job and they make 120K a year, they go out and spend money on a nice car and house without considering that maybe its not stable.
Stability is more important then anything, can you really say that the amount of money you made this year will be something you will earn for the next 15 years or so?
Do you have income from more then one place so if one goes away there is another income that will help you pay for the house?
On a smaller scale this explains the huge number of Repo's there are a day.
Ever meet a friend that tells ya "OMG I just got a great job at AT&T" and then 2 weeks later hes like "Hey where can I buy a nice lexus"

Exactly, that's why I like a huge safety net. Enough money to cover mortgage without hassles and wondering where I'm going to get the money to pay it.Originally posted by EscortBiz

If this is going to be THE home, your pride and joy, I'd put as much down as possible, so that the amount left is quite small. That way you won't be paying thru the nose each month.
And it really depends on if you think you'll be making the kind of money you do now, 1,5, 10 years from now. If you won't, then their will come a time when you're worrying about making payments and the house might go byebyeComment

My parents house is worth a little more than that.
They make about $125 k a yr and seem to have plenty left for the $9k a yr in property taxes and all the new cars they buy (at least 2 a yr this yr I think it was 4).
So that would be a good target income.

That's good money. You'll have no problems. Especially seeing that you're a guy that thinks ahead and already knows how to handle his own finances (like spending money on a home rather than just nice rims), you'll be able to parlay into other things online or offline should your current source of income be effected in the future.Originally posted by detoxed

The Vegas market isn't going to stay like that. Just wait till all the people moving from California stops. The wages in Vegas just do not allow many to buy $500,000 homes.Originally posted by MrPheer

Traditionally your mortgage payment should be approx 1/3rd of your income.
If you put down $100,000 your mortgage would be $400K. Ona 5.25% 30 yr fixed your payment would be around $2,200. Depending where you live figure in your property tax, and the other costs and I'd say you should be making around $150K to afford it comfortably.

i think up to $250k profit isnt taxable, but I'm pretty sure there are ways around it.. maybe if you spend the profits on your next home.Originally posted by quiet

Enough so I could put down 1/2 and not get into paying jumbo loan interest rates.
And talk to a CPA before you guess on the tax situation because your thoughts are wrong on it.
