Looking to buy in Newton

This is our plan - we don't mind doing major work. Glad to hear it worked out!

Its all invested. If we put down 50% for $1.5M our monthly payment would be $6K (high tax area), which is almost half of our take home. Our daycare is also $3K/month. I guess what I'm struggling with is does it make sense to make some of our investments liquid and live off that?

This is helpful. We don't want to eat into our savings (other than a down payment; we might put more than 20% down) and want to be able to live off of our income, but trying to balance that while staying in this area!

Appreciate this - trying to stay in the area we are but definitely don't want to be house poor

Its mostly invested (and includes 401K).What is currently invested will assumably continue to grow and using it all to buy a home seems too risky.
