How big are the houses of which you speak. The average house, built today is
about 2000 sq. ft.
I've always agreed that a house which someone buys for their personal
residence , should not cost more than 3 X annual salary, before txes. The
lower you can go than that the better. But, 3X should be max, and you
should have enough $$$ for 20% down, and 3 months worth of utilities. I
think that used to be a kind of rule of thumb ....bobford
