Open House Austin | Real Estate 🏠

Can you afford to buy a house if you are drinking $8 coffees multiple times a week? ☕ We are back at it for Coffee and Keys episode two.

Last week we covered the bare minimum you need to qualify. This week we are talking about what you can actually afford, because those two things are not always the same.

Your lender will approve you for the maximum amount you qualify for. That does not mean you should spend it. We break down the 27% rule, why inflation has made that conversation more personal than ever, and what questions to ask yourself before you decide on a number that actually works for your life.

Follow along for episode three next week and drop your questions in the comments. 🔑
