Living in a no tax state and hour household makes 550k to 650k per year depending on bonus.

We are considering buying a 2.5M condo w approx 3-4k of monthly condo fees.

Does that seem out of our means? We never spent much and saved about the same amount (2.5M), which is now sitting in stocks.

Not out of means but buying a condo sounds like not a smart idea for individuals making that much money. Buy a house in the nicest part of the city for that amount. You will enjoy that much more.

Taking $600k as an average, and assuming monthly take home home pay of $35k after federal taxes/social security/other deductions, the mortgage (with 20% down payment) is going to be approx. 46% of your net income. That doesn’t take any other debt, monthly expenses, or savings into consideration. That feels like a lot.

Are you planning on selling most of the stock to have a large down payment?

Just use the PMT function in excel - a $2M is nowhere even close to what CB1 is suggesting

If you live in a no state income tax state, I'm going to assume property tax is high. On a 2.5MM house, I'd assume that's like around 50k of prop taxes annually. I'd let your money ontinue to work for you in the maeket and not pay all cash up front given low interest rates, so I'm assuming your mortgage payment might be something like around 100k/yr. So including the HOA, you're looking at roughly $200k for housing per yr (maybe less depending on how much you put down). I think spending 25-30% of income on housing is usually advised. And given your high income I'd try to aim for low 20s. I'd say doable but definitely on the more spendy side as you'll be around 30% of your income including bonus.

I mean what city? 2.5m you should be able to buy a house and pay way less in maintenance. Is the condo offering something worth those fees like a golf club or boat slip?.

Just look into the condo. A lot get mismanaged. Especially in Florida (I’m sure that’s no surprise)

Yeah we are currently renting there. It is very well managed.

So 13.5k total monthly housing payment. On ~600k income is 27% of gross pay. That shouldn’t be a problem for you - go for it!
