My good friend from college is my age - 36 and has 2 kids. He went to a top b school and works for big pharma. He makes around $210K per year (including a $40K bonus). His wife is a college teacher (not tenured prof) and makes $90K.

He bought a $600K condo 4 years ago with $100K down and just sold it for $1 million. Got $500K from that sale.

His wife wants a house with a yard and a dog. He just closed on a 1500 sq ft house on 5,000 sq ft lot. 3 bedroom, 2 bath. Menlo Park.

Purchase price, $2 million. $500K down payment from the sale price.

How the fuck did my friend get approved for a $1.5 million mortgage? His monthly take home with his wife is between $15,000 and $16,000 including bonus.

His mortgage + insurance + property tax is going to be over $9,000.

Doesn't this seem insanely irresponsible for home buying? Is this was all the young idiot techies buying property in SF/SV are doing?

if he runs into financial trouble, the assumption is that the rising value of the property could simply be leveraged for a new sale before anything drastic happens. as long as appreciation is rapid and ongoing, you really only need an occupant in the property and little else. if the occupant can make his payments, great. if not, whatever.

The whole thing is an unbelievable boomer scam. Coast on a mediocre, (upper) middle class existence and thanks to forces you had nothing to do with, you become a multimillionaire. The price: your kids can't live anywhere near you.

People actually slave away for portions of their adult life because their wives friends might giggle at them "settling" for a slightly worse neighborhood.

Just think about that

His income for purposes of mortgage approval is 25k a month (300k/12). He is below 45 percent of that.
