So your estimated monthly pay is ~7k? This sounds a little high but not totally unreasonable, also not factoring in your other debts so you might be cutting it close. Check your debt to income ratio

Does that mortgage estimate include tax and insurance?

Then I agree that it seems a little high but not undoable. You know your other expenses and comfort level.

Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.
