We have $720k saved up, mostly in stocks.

It comes with a garden-level apartment that could rent out for $1400/month.

so you almost have the entire price of the house in savings and it comes with an apartment that rents out for $1400 now and will likely go up in rental price over the years...

is this a serious question?

so you've got about $740,000 mortgage there

assuming 30 year mortgage at 4.3% (estimate), that is $3,662.05 per month.

$3,662.05 minus $1400 for the garden apartment = $2262 (EDIT - you will be paying monthly taxes and insurance of a couple hundred bucks extra each month FYI)

Extremely doable for a couple making $215k a year. Probably a nice house too. I'm jealous.

well done. $215k and living on $18000 rent is admirable.

it's put you into a position to consider overspending for housing.

i don't like buying a house so expensive under these circumstances, but if this is the house you intend to retire in, then it's probably doable.

how old are you both? how safe are the jobs? you know you are one less job away from being foreclosed upon if you get such an expensive house vs being able to live where you are at indefinitely even without a single income

edit. i forgot about the rent out apartment. that makes it a much more viable option

thanks mang. one of the reasons we've been supersaving is because future rents/prices in the area we live in are so uncertain. market rents have gone up like 10% year-over-year for the last 10 years. and house prices have gone up 20% just in the last year.

"how old are you both? how safe are the jobs? you know you are one less job away from being foreclosed upon if you get such an expensive house vs being able to live where you are at indefinitely even without a single income"

I'm 31, wife is 28. my job is probably pretty safe, but hers is in a cyclical industry. yeah, good point about what happens if there's a recession and we lose a job--we've discussed it.

i mean, all in as long as my job is safe i think we could afford it without dipping into savings. if i lose my job, we'd probably have to dip into savings, but we have almost $720k saved up. but if there's a recession that $720k is gonna only be like $500k (it's invested in index fund ETFs)

son of a bitch you've done well being that young.

if one of you loses a job, i think you take steps right away to preserve cash from savings so you don't get double bitch slapped from no job and etf going to shit.

otherwise, i think you can cruise along as you are. in some sense, this is just diversifying your investments. that's good. real estate has gone up a lot recently. bad. but so have stocks. good.

You could comfortably do it with a tenant, but you'd be better off putting the 720k into ZIL.

For me, one of the main purposes of home ownership is security and privacy.

I can't imagine paying $1 million and having a random living on my property 365 days a year.

Like everybody else said, be careful about who you choose as the tenant; you'll have less geographic flexibility than you do renting; and do your homework as far as making sure the house is priced similar to comps (because it's a big decision. Sure if you stay many years it evens out to some degree, but you don't want to overpay up front on something so expensive). But if you're already cool with all that and you just have the cash flow question yeah you can totally afford it.

Alternative question based on OP:

What's the ideal price of a home for couple making $215K (before taxes)?

$720K in savings is substantial. I'd say they can definitely afford the house. Aside from the down payment, if they didn't want to dip into their savings, if they rent out the room at $1400/mo and save $97K/yr, they could pay the house off, they could pay it off in 7 yrs.
