Who could afford these houses? I plan to go to Nashville, TN this coming June. I looked everywhere on the internet for homes that are for sale. I came across the site of a gated community called The Club of Governors. ' The name just sounds expensive, right? Anyway, I certainly do not plan to move here that the houses are in one and two million. This spring my question .. Who, exactly, can afford such a heavy price at home? I thought celebrities were living in houses of such expensive clothes. What would a mortgage payment or for such a house?!? Someone told me it's Carrie Underwood in community life, then perhaps all the famous country singers. (I do not know) I intend to spend approximately 6-7 one hundred miles on a house. Who can afford these houses? Anyway, the houses are beautiful, see for yourself =)
So who lives here other than Ms. Underwood?? All surgeons in Nashville and lawyers first dog? I'm just curious .. And the monthly payment be? Outrageous, I'm sure.
Well, I guess I let myself get a little carried away, thank you to all those who could provide insight on the question:)
I guess by your question, it is safe to say that you'll be a first time buyer. Affordability depends on three main areas: the amount of the deposit interest rate, mortgage, income. The primary reason people buy homes is for the tax reduction. Obviously the more money made, the more you go to the tax. So we are looking for tax shelters "as a way to keep more of our money instead of branching off to Uncle Sam
It is easy enough for a household with two incomes to afford a home of millions of dollars. Especially if they are both owned condos / townhouses in their early 20's-sold during the peak of the market and trades on larger houses. Many times, homebuyers million dollars are not opt for the standard 30 year fixed rate - Instead, they range from five years of participation only or ARM with a low rate of 1.5% as they provide either refinancing or moving them within 5 years.
Taking the above scenario into consideration. If a couple (professionals) have sold their condo and came with $ 300k cash ($ 150kfrom each) on a home $ 1.5 million and took a 30-year mortgage rate fixed at 4.5%, they 'd be looking around $ 7300 for a monthly mortgage. It would be even lower if they have an ARM or interest only at a lower rate. Moreover couples with mega houses (if they are not celebrities or CEOs), they usually have an elderly parent living with them. (After all, what you gonna do with all that extra space and cabin Act?) There are additional resources from the parent. Usually, the mother sold her house and also used as part of the deposit (probably an extra $ 100K - $ 300k) A member of the extended family may also contribute to the expenses of the House a month.
We are seeing more "extended" families moving back and pooling of resources, especially if there is nobody to take care of elderly family members. This is achievable if you have 2 incomes, and both are working professionals (usually with a professional degree) or a contractor.
If you can afford six or seven you one hundred miles, I'm sure there are people out there that do more than you. Think about it. A million is not even double, and two million about three times that you can spend.
Doctors, lawyers, singers, record producers, freelancers, musicians are examples of some who could probably afford it.
Guess the mortgage: somewhere between 5000-10000 per month. Yikes!
Simple people in New York to sell their house for 700k or more and to withdraw these gated communities.
Many of the older generation does not get bogged down in debt and c.
