A Bank Approval Is Not the Same as a Comfortable Payment

    A lender may tell you the maximum you qualify for. That does not automatically mean you will feel comfortable making that payment every month.

    Real life includes more than gross income:

    • • Take-home pay
    • • Childcare
    • • Car payments
    • • Debt
    • • Savings goals
    • • Family support
    • • Travel
    • • Emergency reserves
    • • Lifestyle
    • • Future plans

    Andy's Take

    "I would rather help you find a payment that fits your life than simply chase the highest approval."
