$100k Salary: How Much House Can You Really Afford?

If your household makes $100k a year, you've probably already run the numbers on how much house you can afford...or tried to. You've looked at homes, maybe talked to a lender, and gotten a number that either excited you or confused you. In this video, I'm breaking down what that income actually means in real, practical terms, what a lender will likely approve you for, and what I think is a smarter, more honest target, one that lets you build wealth without feeling strangled by your mortgage every month. Whether you're a first-time buyer or you're making a move-up purchase, this video will help you go into the process with a clear, honest picture of what your money actually buys and how to make a decision you'll feel good about for years.
