These 3 million households all qualified for a house.\u00a0 As they found out, they couldn&#8217;t afford it.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of home affordability calculators out there.\u00a0 Unfortunately, they aren&#8217;t good.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of telling you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/how-much-house-afford\/\">how much home you can afford<\/a>, they focus on what you qualify for.\u00a0 They don&#8217;t ask you about other goals, your family situation, your income, your future plans, your work, housing upkeep expenses, etc&#8230; These things all factor into home affordability.<\/p>\n<p>Home affordability calculators on popular websites are there to qualify leads for lenders. Thus, they may say home affordability calculator but they aren&#8217;t there to truly help you figure out what you can afford.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\">FitBUX<\/a>, we care about you more than we care about lenders.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we recently launched two innovative technologies that tell you exactly how much home you can afford. One is our home affordability calculator and the other is our financial planning technology.\u00a0 Both use your FitBUX profile and consider your entire profile such as your debt, income, budget, financial goals, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Below, I detail each of our new technologies and how to use them.<\/p>\n<h1>How to Use Our Home Affordability Calculator<\/h1>\n<h3>Step 1<\/h3>\n<p>To get access to our free home affordability calculator, you will need to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\">FitBUX premium membership<\/a> as this specific tool is based on our financial planning AI.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have upgraded your membership, click Tools and Products from the left hand menu. Once you click this, 6 topics will drop down.<\/p>\n<p>Find the one that says, \u2018Home Ownership\u2019. In the middle column, the Premium Add-Ons section, choose \u2018How Much Home Can I Afford?\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15395 size-medium\" title=\"Home Affordability Calculator Entry Screen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-1-300x165.png\" alt=\"Home Affordability Calculator Entry Screen\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-1-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-1-1024x563.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-1-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-1-1536x844.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-1-2048x1125.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-1-150x82.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Step 3<\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you\u2019ll be asked to do is to confirm your income as well as your debt.\u00a0 This is important to help determine your cash flow.<\/p>\n<p>However, we do more than just look at cash flow.\u00a0 We take into account the type of income you have because every type of income has different risk characteristics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15396 size-medium\" title=\"home affordability calculator screen #1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-2-300x111.png\" alt=\"home affordability calculator screen #1\" width=\"300\" height=\"111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-2-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-2-1024x378.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-2-768x284.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-2-1536x568.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-2-2048x757.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Home-tool-2-150x55.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Step 4<\/h3>\n<p>Next you&#8217;ll be asked about the amount of down payment you plan on making.\u00a0 We ask this because we incorporate housing data from your zip code.<\/p>\n<p>How much you plan on putting down on your house reduces how much you borrow.

You also want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/creative-ways-pay-off-student-loans\/\">pay off your student loans<\/a> in three years and buy a house in four years instead of buying a house today.<\/p>\n<p>You can build that scenario and see how much home you can afford.\u00a0 The technology will even adjust your expenses after you have children so you can see the impact of home affordability once you have children!<\/p>\n<p>Then you can build a second scenario and change the purchase price of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you want to make a small change and build scenario whereby you keep renting instead of buying.\u00a0 You can do that and compare results.<\/p>\n<p>You can also do a complex change such as not<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/pay-off-student-loans-fast\/\"> paying off your student loans<\/a> and instead using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/income-based-repayment\/\">income-based repayment plan.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The options you in our financial planning technology are endless.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, if you need help building your plan, you can schedule call with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/fitbux-coach\/\">FitBUX Coach<\/a> and they can answer any questions you have about using the technology or about finance!<\/p>\n<p>Once you build your plan, you can then use the technology to implement so you make sure you meet all your goals.<\/p>\n<p>From there you can begin taking the steps to buy a house.<\/p>\n<p>You can contact one of our lending partners to help you with the qualifying process.\u00a0 Our partners are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/neo-home-loans-review\/\">NeoHome Loans<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/movement-mortgage-review\/\">Movement Mortgage.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you know what rates you qualify for you can use our free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/mortgage-point-calculator\/\">mortgage point calculator<\/a> to complete your financial plan and save tens of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<p><em>By David Hughes and review by Joseph Reinke, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfainstitute.org\" target=\"_blank\"><em>CFA<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2008, there were more than 3 million foreclosures.
