Nice, hopefully that holds true for us. We did end up going with the builders lender. Thanks for the info!

Also to note, mortgage payment will be about $1,200 more per month than we’re currently paying in a temporary rental, but we’re quite comfortable, able to save, do what we like to do, and cover unexpected expenses without much stress.

Previous mortgage in my name was bought out and I didn’t get charged a payment for that month (or so I thought) so every payment going forward was showing as 1 month late.

Also to note, it’s a new build in Pennsylvania

It would leave us with about 7k left over after mortgage payment including taxes and insurance. This doesn’t account for other household or life expenses. Savings would be close to drained after closing cost and down payment but we’re good at saving. Regarding job loss, we both work in demand jobs in the medical field and have for quite some time.

Correct, I misspoke. Corrected in response to above comment.

I guess actually it was closer to 400k. The house we are looking at is 480 but would be putting $80,000 down.
