| Our income is 260K. our monthly payments are 3500 including taxes and insurance. Not stressful at all, even with daycare payments. |

Ours was $3500. Since then we've refinanced and gotten raises and now our PITI is under 3k with a $500k HHI.
We looked at our rent + down payment savings and decided what we could afford based on that. It was tight for a few years when we had unexpected repairs but it worked out. |
| At $270k. Just sold and was at $3200, now at $2400. I agree it depends on priorities and what else you have going on in life. You need to look at all your other expenses, too. |

$700,000 mortgage. PITI of $3,650. HHI of $255,000.
|
| $3650. Kids are in high school/college. |
We make 260k and our payment is 2,300 (taxes and insurance included). I would not go higher than 2,500. We have two kids in daycare and it is terrible. |
| We have a similar income. Our PITI was $3850, with 2 kids in daycare. It was manageable but it felt too high. We were able to refinance and drop the PMI last year and now our PITI is $2800. That 1k monthly savings really makes a difference and I feel much more comfortable. |
| $3100. It's very comfortable, but we don't have kids. |
Your PMI was $1000 a month? I got quoted a PMI of 150ish on a 800k loan with 10percent down… of course they said the whole sheet is just an estimate. Am I in for a big surprise? Is PMI really usually that high?! |
I bet it was a combo of lower loan balance, re-amortization, lower rate, and dropping PMI. We refinanced from 3.625% on a $405k balance to 2.875% on a $405k and it was a reduction of about $275 per month. Huge. |
Oops, 2.875% on a $378k balance. |
| do you mean PITI or just principal/interest? |
| Piti-3,100 on a 25 yr mortagage |
| 266k HHI; 3000/month; used to be almost 3500 but we refinanced. Also childcare for 2. |
| $3,500 |
