My husband and I are closing in 3 weeks. When he initially met with our lender and gave all our documents/financial info, she told us we were pre-approved for a huge amount. We then made her tell us what the monthly payment would be for that large sum and it was also very, very large. We had to knock her down a lottttt for us to be comfortable, and we still found an amazing house

[@rathelmmc3194]

One thing about income too is if you have two incomes in your household, using both of them to determine how much you can afford puts you under far higher risk since if either one of you lose their job you may not be able to afford your bills. So it may be worth thinking about that when you go to buy to have even more cushion, just in case.

[@daisylavender5275]

Or if one of you dies 😮

[@ztigris]

💯 we made a point of figuring out what we could afford on one income and worst case if I had to take an average pay job in my field. Anything more than that is dangerous. But we've been through 2 major economic bubbles and know worst case. The younger generation or fortunate ones, never felt that pain and are running like sheep through this.

[@Norma00ful]

ahhhh never thought of this....great point....so many things to think about.

[@beatrizguerra7655]

Exactly, my husband and I make our financial planning only considering his salary, mine goes 100% to investments

[@josemora6448]

I got a great deal from a builder and their lender and got my rate at 4.99 with closing costs covered. It was not until the deal was done that I had other lenders that were offering nothing and a rate in the low 7s when they started saying they could match the deal, to which I said "why on earth didn't you offer me your best pitch from the start". Screw those people. I bought by Laveen, Phx.

[@dismurrart6648]

Shoutout to my mortgage broker. Him: okay your budget is x? Okay with taxes and whatnot, you can afford y. Im writing your pre-approval for 20k more because it looks better to sellers but we are not getting that much mortgage. He really emphasized buying within our means and came in respecting our needs.

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

basically buy the house for the house, not the investment.

[@Masterlowen21]

I agree Javier, after living for more than three years at my old apartment complex, out of the blue one day, my landlord decided to post a paper on my door that read "we are not renewing your lease, you have 30 days to vacate the premises" right in the middle of Christmas! They did not tell us why, they did not work with us or talk to us meaning... If I was changing the oil of my car, give me a warning, won't do it again... If I was doing laundry inside my apartment with a portable washer, then move me to a unit with a washer and dryer... If my downstairs neighbor is complaining about the noise level because my kids are running around, then move me to a downstairs unit... No answer is no, no, no, they did not even tell us why they were kicking us out, they lied to me and said that the owners are not renewing my lease and they did not tell them why... So, talk about having the rug pulled from under you, I was a prime example... In the middle of Christmas, in the cold, with 30 days or less, I had to buy boxes to pack all of my belongings, find another place to move, pay someone to help me move, rent a truck, unpack everything and organize everything, change all my addresses while still holding down my full-time job... Also, keep in mind that in order for to prevent from becoming homeless, I had to do come up with first month rent, last month rent, and security deposit for my new place, not to mention, application fees per adult!!!

[@Love4puppies]

Thank you for making this video! It really spoke to me. I keep getting told " nobody stays in their home for 30 years" or "take the rate now and you can refinance as soon as rates drop". After moving across states twice, I might just not want to move again! And having a comfortable monthly payment without having to worry about refinancing, unless an amazing opportunity comes along, is important to me. Thank you!

[@burritogod59]

I prequalified for a $475,000 house. My wife and I started looking at houses around $275,000 and thats what we bought at. Its an outdated house that we are putting a lot of work into, but we can comfortably afford it. If we would have bought a $475,000 house we would be drowning.

[@dennyfie]

275 is what I'm listing mine for, it's a little dated, 20 years old, the market here for this house has stalled.

[@marcelrodriguez2067]

Do you live in alabama by any chance? Cause i cant find any house like that within 30 miles of nyc and i dont work remote so have to be close to the city.

[@billycruz7648]

Thank you so much Javier this is why we listen to you a lot. I keep hearing from other KZbin channels and people that we talk to that we can refinance later. Hardly anybody talks about keeping the mortgage for 30 years. My wife and I are starting late in life I’m 52 years old and have about 15 years left of working, give or take, and we want our house paid off by the time, with my budget at 25% for the house we can afford a certain area we’ve already scouted it and we love it. You just affirmed our thought of not worrying about the interest rate as long as we can afford it and stay within the budget it will work for us Thank you again buddy keep up the good work love your channel.

[@Themaneman464]

NGL brother, for some reason I have this obsession with this thought that I need to buy a home. Maybe it's because I'm the only one without a home in my family at my age. And I always hear people tell me that buying right now in So Cal is a good idea and these are people I generally trust too. I feel like the weirdo for feeling like you do. Hearing stuff like this from you grounds me for sure, and I appreciate that brother. Keep being the voice of reason for us!

[@mando5190]

Bro fuck socal, don't feel the need to buy shit. You will pay so much for so little.

[@JayCosta]

Great advice Javier, I agree. All great points. Buy what you can afford now and for the foreseeable future. Dont worry about the noise.

[@amanacatandhisdog8836]

Moving is very expensive and I don’t like landlords micro managing.

[@MsFox2u]

Glad I got my interest rate at 1.375% with buydown back in 2021. I don't think rates will ever be as low as they were back in 2020/21.

[@tfptravel.food.peace.3788]

Damn. Rates are 7% now. 2020/2021 was truly once in a lifetime

[@dennyfie]

No we will never see that rate.

[@captainviper3888]

Always buy with a monthly payment in mind...price and rates fluctuate. Bid whatever price gives you the same monthly rate your looking for the current rate quote

[@nofugs2458]

Automated underwriting will allow FHA and VA to go above 55% DTI in some scenarios. I’ve seen it as high as 58%…

[@ameermayden]

Just go get your house. I was so into this guys videos the one rental at a time and I was so against buying a house. Just scared to pay a huge amount monthly for my mortgage. As I’m paying rent that’s 2,500 a month. One day I’m like shit let’s see what we can afford and at like 6% that put us at 3000 a month…only 500 more than what we paid for rent. Man we put the down payment down so fast. Asked the sellers to cover the cost. I’m in Cali house was 427k we paid 318…in California!

[@vilasaojose6703]

Financial planning is like navigation. If you know where you are and where you want to go, navigation isn't such a great problem. It's when you don't know the two points that it's difficult

[@felipeneto4203]

I'm in a similar situation where should I look to increase income? Do you have any advice? What did you do ? Thank you

Holy crap I needed to hear this! Keep up the great vids Javi!

[@NSXavier997]

#2- Real Estate is always a good investment. A good investment is owning assets. A bad investment is owning liabilities. What happens when you buy a house and live in it? You turn an asset into a liability. Unless you find something undervalued and buy it with equity built in, new home buyers are all walking a very thin line of risk by buying right now. I bought a nice and modest home that was undervalued in 2016 and refinanced it at 3% APR in 2020. It didn’t occur to me at the time, but looking back on it now; I realize that it was a combination of correct timing and a bit of luck that put me in a comfortable spot today. As a Millennial that has owned real estate since 2009, the best advice I can give today for the newer generations that feel that they’re “in a tough spot” is to simply look at your other options when it comes to investing. Use those avenues to save, gain capital and build wealth. I would revisit buying and owning a home after all of this dust settles. There’s no shame in renting as long as you’re also working to build your wealth and net worth.

[@jenniferlego4221]

Javi!!! 🎉❤ Shout out to you and Kyle! Monday will be my ONE YEAR Home-a-versary! Thanks for all your advice and support. Love to family. (Dog included.)

[@palomaquerida]

Shout out to Javi, delivering grest content while keeping it real.

[@kateajurors8640]

5:33 I like these resources you provide they are great calculations for what to spend on a home

[@bernitup6492]

thanks Javi. great insight. I feel that most people that listened to these crash bros are the ones now crying... should have done their own research instead of relying on these crash bros that are making money off people who are listening to them. All of them will not even back their claims. They use the get out of jail card by saying "I do not have a crystal ball", this way no one can hold them to their claim.

[@Rengoatkuv]

Can you make a video about opting out of escrow? The pros and cons

[@Ms-cj8ul]

Hello Javy! I really enjoy your videos! Quick question though, how much do new home builders loose 💵 daily when they are not able to sell the home?

[@danielacostanues]

Yess ! Your videos are back

[@Savrathmith]

Honestly in my personal opinion, the way to go nowadays is to buy a broken down home at a cheap price and fix it up yourself. If you don't know how then learn how to do some of the things. If you cant do electrical and plumbing thats fine but other things like how to put up drywall or floors, paint walls, etc. Can be learned to do, hell you can probably find someone who can do some of the stuff at a cheap price. I did so at the age of 23, everyone said I was dumb for not knowing what I was doing, guess what? I bought it dirt cheap at 15k, the house went up 80k in value just purely because of the market and now its worth a lot more since I cleaned up the place. I haven't even finished it and I already x10 my money, once I finished it will be x20 hopefully. But regardless I have increased my money just by doing so, and I have a cheap place to stay vs people fighting high interest and mortgage rates. And Im a school bus driver so my salary aint that high, so don't come at me with it cant be done. It can be done, just this time its a lot more work but its worth the trade off.

[@loosemoose5217]

Literal Crack houses, houses with fire damage, and unlivable mold infested homes near me go for 200k, for me, it can't be done

[@Savrathmith]

@@loosemoose5217 Keep looking, it may not be today or tomorrow. But eventually someone would be desperate enough to sell their property really cheap because they want to get out of there. My dad just found a two floor family house for 69k with similar damages you just mentioned. He's halfway done and with that alone already double its value.

[@Savrathmith]

@@loosemoose5217 It can be done but you gotta be open and flexible, if you want to stay where you are at because you love it there then either find a way to make more money or move to an affordable area with the same type of work you are doing. I moved out of Chicago to find my home, and I barely paid 1.8k in property taxes last year.

[@loosemoose5217]

@Savrathmith yup! Just leave everything, uproot yourself, leave your family, and go to a place with no jobs! Don't worry it's cheaper their! I am in a cheap area and homes still start at 250k which I can afford but I would be house poor

[@Savrathmith]

@@loosemoose5217 Well buddy you can't always have it all, jobs are everywhere but you not want to work certain job is different. And being close to family is nice but if you want to own something, sometimes you have to fly the nest and be independent to make it. Just say you don't want to leave your comfort zone which is keeping you stuck.

[@PrincezMichelle1]

Our rent and daycare cost is at least 57% ($3800) of our after tax income... So once he is older and is in school I feel confident I can afford paying even 40% towards housing once he doesn't need daycare. Our rent is $2100 after utilities, unfortunately most houses are $500,000 in this area with $400+ HOA... 😭

[@dismurrart6648]

He's going to have other needs as he gets older. The 30% thing is factoring in that you have kids, and that sometimes your house will break. My partner and I make great money, no kids, and still stuck to 30%. Partially because we need to also save 12 grand for a roof budget and because sometimes floods happen. Where we live, the average house is also 500k. We found a near perfect place that was turnkey ready for ~350k because we were selective and listened to javy.

[@siegetank316]

Javier, what's the PC spec? I'm curious if you made it faster using rgb parts too 😅

[@0529mpb]

The general qualification guidelines were 28/36 when the buy as much as you can advice started. Probably 40-50 years ago.

Home ownership is how the majority of families built generational wealth. Make sacrifices live further out to buy a home you can afford. As long as you live in a growing/developing area it should work out for you. God Bless

[@tedjammers]

I feel like the National Cliché Board really whiffed it. They should have coined the phrase as "Date the rate and make the house the spouse"

[@farnoushreshadi6547]

Very interesting. In the example you set for mortgage approval, you said the bank would approve you for $3375. Is that including mortgage and insurance or is that just the mortgage payment?

[@ysn_finessekid591]

What’s the Pros and the cons on a mortgage for a 15 year lease and a 30 year lease ? I currently rent out a 2 bd apartment for $875 a month. And I plan on buying a home in a year or two with my wife and my mom. I’ll be turning 21 this year and honestly a 15 year lease sounds convincing for my age. I’m looking for a home because we’re expecting a kid on July and we’ll need more space. So I’ve been looking around but rent prices are high at the moment. It’s $2300 a month, minimum for a 2bd apartment, And damn near 3k for 3 bed apartment, so I’m thinking to myself that’s a mortgage right? So I’ve been looking at homes around my area and just matching the numbers, adding them up. With a 15 year mortgage for a houses around 250k -350k I’ll be stretching it a bit but I’ll still have somewhat money left over after every monthly payment so my plan was pay the full mortgage myself and have my Wife and mom pay the utilities and needs, and just thug it out for 15 years lbvs 😂😵‍💫. I feel confident about it, but still having second thoughts because with a 30 year mortgage I’ll be a bit more comfortable.

[@gonzalez76683]

How do you get loan officers to fight for your business?

[@dankervick2933]

Is that a Nimbus 2000 or a Firebolt?

[@Indrajiot]

Buying down the rate to get a better interest rate only makes sense to qualify a loan and even then you should be getting seller credits because you’re probably buying an overpriced property to begin with especially for this market. You should focus on the payment you’re comfortable with. If it’s go higher your comfortable with the payment, if the go lower and you refinance to an even more comfortable payment.

[@flipping33]

Will you do a video including HOAs charging crazy amounts and if they are worth being a part of?

Hi Javi 👋🏿

[@codyboles3493]

My problem (as many of us blue collar peeps) if we "buy what's affordable " the property is too busted up or old to be insurable

[@itsomni]

imo real estate agents shouldn’t legally be allowed to list properties as “investment properties” There are certain certifications/licenses you have to have in order to give legal “investment advice” and I’m pretty sure that certification isn’t required for real estate agents

[@user-oh6ox9hz9c]

I would never do a temporary buy down. It's a waste of money. Just take whatever seller concession the seller is offering and lower the price. With a lower mortgage balance you will be in a better situation to refinance IF rates come down. If you NEED a Buy down or seller paid closing costs to get into the house, you probably shouldn't be buying. All you are doing is financing your closing cost.

[@adriand.896]

There are some restrictions, but in general, you can "buy down" the interest you're given. That means you can pay extra money upfront to lower the rate you end up with

[@chaselesser3191]

They will drop. But it may take a a couple years to get to the ideal rate, even it’s not going to get down to the 2-3%. You might get something in the 4%.
