The bank might approve a bigger mortgage. But can you comfortably afford it?
Before searching for my townhouse in Dubai, I had to figure out what I could actually afford.
Not what the bank would lend me.
I focused on three things:
💰 Down payment and purchase fees
🏦 A monthly mortgage payment I'm comfortable with
🔑 Additional costs like maintenance, insurance, service charges, and furnishing
Because buying a home should bring peace of mind, not unnecessary financial pressure.
This is Part 2 of my townhouse buying journey.
📌 Next Friday, I'll share how I shortlisted locations and why I rejected some of them.
Follow along as I share my real home-buying journey in Dubai!
