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

30% used to be the recommended max

Is that gross income?

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

Gotta be net. No way.

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

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

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

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

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

Yikes. Multiple generations? How?

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

Gross or net income?
