Frustrating that he never posted the whole list that I saw.

Courtimedes

30% used to be the recommended max

Is that gross income?

bag

4/1/23 6:00pm

Most likely gross.

JohnnyC

4/1/23 6:02pm

No, most likely not. 63% can't be right.

How could they calculate net? Way more variables compared to gross.

JohnnyC

4/1/23 6:05pm

Gotta be net. No way.

mulletino

Those numbers don't make sense. I question the way they are calculated

RexIdaCoug

4/1/23 6:01pm

Yeah I think it's BS. They haven't given any source whatsoever.

Yeah, and the Tweet doesn’t give any source or context for the data

Here is how they calculated these numbers:

Ok, so they’re just taking median home value (with a 30-year mortgage) divided by median household income. Their

It’s kinda of a dumb way to present it. Most banks will not go above 43% DTI to

Really becoming less realistic for majority.

With home prices the way they are, it’s a near statistical impossibility.

8.6% but that’s a 15 year. New Mexico

LaserCoug

4/1/23 6:11pm

63% of gross? So 100% of net. Yeah OK

Memmo

These numbers are a joke. They are not accurate. Not even close. Landlords in CA have plenty of options for

In coastal areas my guess is this is legit. The cosigners data isn't added for

I'm a landlord in NYC. These "rent burdened" numbers are a lie. They are completely debunked with 7th grade analysis.

HarlemCoug

Im no expert. I do know in my own family there are multiple generations

chismoso

4/1/23 7:32pm

Yikes. Multiple generations? How?

mulletino

I don't know the details of the financing

We just left (mid 2021); couldn't afford to buy down and stay

BlueInfidel

I should have looked elsewhere. The location just sounded too cool

This is why the RE market will collapse with an actual recession

chismoso

4/1/23 6:15pm

Gross or net income?

4/1/23 6:20pm

I had to buy in Utah 4 months ago

4/1/23 6:41pm

4 percent (of gross) in AZ / happy not to be house poor

BYUfan92

6 percent (of gross) not in UT / happy not to be house poor (looking for better)

BlueInfidel

Based off gross or net income?
