If you bought when rates were low. With today’s rates, $2k per month buys you about $250k.

Rent isn’t debt. Think of renter paying that much, plus that much debt and it’s only going to get worse

Yea, my mortgage is around 900 and my car is 500 something but it’s also an electric car, then I have solar panels I’m paying off. I feel like 1500 is low.

And that doesn’t include the other monthly costs. Property tax is semiannual but if you have an escrow account it’s paid monthly. And property insurance is pricey. If you don’t put enough down, you’ll have mortgage insurance too. A $2100 mortgage is fine, but it’s more like $2800 when the other monthly costs are included
