It’s the credit score requirements that are crazy. Like everywhere else my 650 credit score is fine. 700+ is insane.

It’s because not everyone can afford 40x the rent. Where are you supposed to live ya’know? Although I agree that if you make anything less than 40x then you are definitely overextending yourself

The 40x rule is actually very generous. 40x 2000 rent means you should make 80k. I did this before and I felt like I was at my absolute limit. If you want to max out savings and have vacations you should be making 45-50x the rent in nyc
