$420K duplex too much for 99K salary?
I'm looking to purchase my first multi family property. My realtor is showing me duplexes ranging from 399-430k. There aren't many options to choose from. My plan is to use FHA, 3.5% dp, seller covers closing costs.
Gross salary: 88,992 (base w/o OT) (99,360 in July)
I work a lot of OT. Biweekly checks after tax are $4k.
#s based on duplex I’m being shown
420,000, rate 6.25%
Mortgage payment: 3271 + 225 HOA (increase $65 starting July) =3561
Currently paying 1200 in rent + utilities.
I know you’re going to scream at me for this. Student loan payments: 1,457/month.
