@guyfleurant8: Your budget can look fine on paper and still feel tight once you own the house. Before you buy, check these 4 things: - mortgage payment - taxes and insurance - utilities and maintenance - your monthly breathing room after savings and bills If those numbers still leave you comfortable, your budget is probably in a strong place. If they don’t, you may want to wait, lower your target price, or build more cash reserves first. The goal is not to stretch yourself thin. It’s to buy a home you can actually live with month after month. DM us budget
