Budgeting (Gross vs Net)


Here’s something every buyer needs to know:

✅ Lenders qualify you using gross income
❗ But you live on net income

That’s why budgeting matters so much — because just because you can qualify doesn’t always mean the payment fits your lifestyle.

When you buy a home in the Central Valley, you also need to plan for:
🏡 Taxes + insurance
🏡 HOA (if applicable)
🏡 utilities + maintenance
🏡 closing costs

If you want, I can help you map out a realistic payment plan and get fully pre-approved.
