Let’s see which monthly payment makes you the next homeowner! Remember, these are just examples of an FHA loan with a 3.5% down payment. Dream big, budget smart! Save this for later and follow @RELO_idaho for your daily real estate tips!

👇 Let’s break it down with a simple example: A 30-year fixed mortgage, 10% down, and a 6.5% interest rate. Plus, we’re throwing in a 710 credit score and a 36% debt-to-income ratio, not to mention the usual property taxes and insurance. And yes, we’re assuming no other monthly debts for now. But here’s the thing – maxing out isn’t always the move. With different down payments and credit scores, your dream home budget could flex. More down payment? Higher price range! And for my first-time buyers, did you know you could start with as little as 3% down? Though, pushing for a higher debt-to-income ratio (up to 45%) might let you aim for a pricier pad, staying conservative (like we did with 36%) could keep things comfy. Got a side hustle or extra income? That could tweak the numbers in your favor too. Curious about your own home-buying power or have questions?
