Use to be monthly mortgage/rent should be 1/3 of your monthly gross pay.

The measure I use is that a year and a half out of college I bought a townhouse for 150% of my gross salary. Ten years later I bought a house, again for about 150% of my salary.

My daughter is four and a half years out of engineering school and homes in Dallas seem to start at around $450K. And, no, she is not making $300K..(Yet! Mr. Green )

I don’t believe salaries keep up with inflation.
Use to be monthly mortgage/rent should be 1/3 of your monthly gross pay. Don’t think that’s the case now. I think to make that work now ya need a down payment of 50% or more. And rents are out of sight now.
