The ratios are pretty simple:Frig. I got through your first 3 points before my brain quit on me.
I need to think about buying a house.
Other debts are credit cards and car note. I do have an IRS debt that they don't know about yet, but it's going to catch up with me pretty soon so I'm sending in payments before they force the payments.
Credit score could use some fluffing, but it's not bad.
I suppose I could plug all those numbers into a calculator of some sort.
Down payment would be savings and (I don't like this one bit, thus my inclination to wait or just keep renting) borrow from my 401k
Cash reserves would be nearly depleted for the down payment.
If your average gross income is $5,000 per month and your proposed monthly housing expense (principal, interest, property tax, homeowners insurance, homeowners association dues, and mortgage insurance, if applicable) is $1,500 per month, your front ratio would be 30% (1,500/5,000)
If your other debts are another $1,000 per month, your back ratio would be 50% (2,500/5,000)
