Looking for advice on house purchase. Given my circumstance, is this house a responsible option?
House is £930k - will put down 20%. Mortgage rate for 35 year term means £3500/mo + £450/mo in household bills and council tax. The home will need £125k in renovation. My net take monthly home pay is £6200 (+ £2500/ mo net in equity, and guaranteed £30k net annual bonus). I have £200k in brokerage and £200k in pension.
Thank you for thoughts - it feels doable but interested in others’ assessments.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
