ParticipantIt’s only your dream house if you can afford it. If you cant its someone else’s dream house. Sounds like you might be chasing someone else’s.

ParticipantYou might be right. I’m trying to figure that out from sevral different angles. I know it’s close based on my income also according to some on-line rent vs own calculators. I played with the parameters keeping them conservative (like 0 or 1% appreciation) and more often than not owning actually comes out on top or there’s virtually no difference, which speaks more to the ridiculously high rent we pay here than the house price being “affordable”.

Participant[quote=nocommonsense]If it weren’t for the mello rous, the loan is actually quite affordable to us, but with the extra $1000 tax a month it’ll be tight.[/quote]
Factor in another 6-8k/yr for property tax coming to another roughly $600/month and for $1600 a month you’d be paying in taxes alone you could just about rent a place. I know, I know — renting’s just throwing your money away.
Got interest and PMI to pay on that too?
BTW: If you can’t even spell Mello-Roos, you shouldn’t be signing a contract obligating yourself to pay it. Really, you should read it first.
