To buy or not to buy.

Hi! first time homebuyer here looking into the Atlanta market - would really appreciate any advice. Considering purchasing a townhome in Chosewood Park near the Belt Line South Side Trail (near Grant Park).

Sq. Ft: ~1,900
Price: $482K
Interest rate: 4.99% conventional
Incentives: $12K in closing cost, appliances, etc.

I have an interview for a LTC/Rehab Nurse Manager, Infection Preventionist position next week. My base salary is $40/hour as a charge nurse. With overtime I’ll be finishing the year about $15000 above my base pay. I have questions: first, I know I’ll be putting in at least the same number of hours I’m current working (50+/wk). How do I leverage that to avoid a pay cut. Also, any tips from people in this position?
