Native Floridian, burned in 2008, but looking to buy another family home. Thoughts...

[Adam Labadie]

I have owned a few different homes, 1st one was short sold 2010, and last one in Odessa I sold to move. Now I'm in a rental looking to buy but not desperate. No debt and looking to get the family settled in the current area we like to live. If you were making 150K a year, no debt, would you sign up for a personal home of 600K? $4500 a month with current interest rates puts me at high DTI. It's area we love and neighborhood we have been living in, so that risk is gone. Thoughts? suggestions? or do you have a better idea?
