[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,[b] if [/b]your husband has the potential to change jobs to increase his income, then YES increasing by 35% is very possible. Also consider a side gig at home for yourself- ETSY shop, etc. would increase the household income. Seriously, 35% is about 30k- between those two things I just listed that should be very possible. Do the math, and do it again. Be sure.[/quote] That's a BIG "if." And it's still bad advice to recommend buying a house on the belief that HHI *might* go up. Besides, no lender will give you a mortgage based upon possible changes in jobs (unless, say, DH is a medical resident and soon to become a practicing physician) and a possible ETSY shop. Give me a break.[/quote]
