How much house should I buy???
I make 40,000 per year. I have basically no debt. My dti is 4.5% per month. I like in an area where home prices are cheap. I really want to buy a house for about 125,000. The payments with taxes and insurance will be around 950 per month, assuming I put 10% down, which I am going to do. I am in a prestigious job, so I expect my income to increase rapidly. What would you do if you were me? Should I buy the house? I will still have 7,000 in my emergency fund after the down payment and clsong costs, and approximately a 600 dollar cushion per month after all my budgeted expenses. I have heard all the rules about buying a house that is 2.5 times my income, but I think it might be wise to stretch a bit right now. Keep in mind the house I can get for 125,00 is 3 bed/2 bath/2 car garage, good neighborhood…….give me some advice????
How much house should I buy???
well you have to look what the market trend is in the area, is the market kind of flat (like most areas) and the houses value will increase enough if you do need to do a quick sell? are you sure your job / company is stable? I know quite a few people that had prestigious jobs that are now living in apartments scanning groceries. If you think everything will stay stable enough in your life that you will have enough time to build the equity you need in case you need to sell then go for it, sounds like a nice house. I can tell that you are not in my area of the country……anything that price is in need of major repair so good for you!!

IVA – The IVA is well used alternative to bankruptcy which was brought in in 1986. The IVA allows a person to propose a settlement to those he owes money to. It is based upon what he can afford not what he is obliged to pay. The IVA once accepted binds all parties irrespective of whether they voted in favour of it or not and prevents any further action such as bankruptcy.. In most cases an IVA will last for 5 years. The IVA has had a bad press over recent years as too many companies sold them for profit and not because they were best advice. We only recommend and IVA where it suits you to have one.
Debt Management – A good Debt Management Plan will again allow someone to repay their debt at a rate they can afford for either a short time or for longer, as the situation determines. If your debt problem is temporary and your situation is likely to improve then a debt management plan could be the best solution. It should be noted that while the debt management company will attempt to get the creditor to cease interest and charges, these may continue thereby increasing the debt level over a period of time. A Debt Management company will tell you that they can reduce your debt payments and they will deal with your creditors for you. Most Debt Management Companies will charge you anything from 15% to 20% of the amount you pay to your creditors as a fee. This is pretty standard for the industry.
Bankruptcy – Bankruptcy is an option for any individual who cannot pay their debts “as and when they fall due”. The Bankruptcy proceeding has two aims; To free the individual from the pressures of creditors (people they owe money to) to enable him or her to make a fresh start. To ensure that all assets (such as property and investments) are distributed fairly among the creditors. Bankruptcy Proceedings will free you from the burden of overwhelming debt. The decision to apply for bankruptcy is a serious decision to make, and our expert advisors will give you free advice to guide you to make the right choice.
