The mortgage payment is not the whole cost of the house.
🎙️ Full Episode 339: tracyhayespodcast.com/339
Marilyn Gilman's rule: "I don't want, on my watch, someone to buy a house they really can't afford."
Her picture of it — you bought the car, but the tires are built for a Ferrari.
There's more to affordability than the mortgage. The roof can go bad. The AC can go out. "People can be one HVAC away from homeless for all we know."
Nobody has a crystal ball, which is why she uses the inspection period to spell out what can actually happen.
The goal isn't to talk anyone out of a house. It's an informed consumer — and an informed seller.
