People are always surprised when I tell them the annual income needed to buy a home in LA County. There's no two ways about it, living in SoCal is expensive.
Here's the good news
1οΈβ£ These numbers reflect COMBINED income of homeowners. Example: if you are buying a 600k home with someone else, each of you would need a gross annual income of 65k (or any combination of income that adds up to 130k. If you have side hustle income, it can be included as long as you are reporting it in your taxes
2οΈβ£ These numbers assume a very small downpayment of 3.5% of purchase price. If you can do a higher downpayment, the salary requirement will decrease
3οΈβ£ You can combined more than 2 persons income as long as they are owner occupants. For example, if you and your partner are buying and will have parents live with you, their income can be included as well
NOTE: these numbers are based on FHA loan, 3.5% down payment, at 7% interest rate and are meant as rough general guidelines. The only way to get specific numbers to YOUR situation is to get pre-approved for a home loan.

oh wow, itβs expensive π
melissaurenalbc
@max.realmedia π
yep.
max.realmedia
@melissaurenalbc oh this is if you do a 3.5% down payment! makes a little more sense now! π
melissaurenalbc
@max.realmedia π₯Ί yeah, SoCal is expensive. The salary requirements are lower if you do a higher down payment than the 3.5% I used for this example & starter condos can still be found for less than the 600k.
