    The price my builder wanted for a crappy upgraded patio was outrageous. I could have hired other contractors and had one 10 times better for 1/4 the cost. Their excuse was "well it will only increase your payment by a little bit" Yeah, that little bit is a hell of a lot of money when it's a 30 year mortgage and it's compounding interest.

      @meres_mortgage Місяць тому

      No i'm not saying that... this is how the banks calculate it/ how much they will approve you for. Just because the bank approves you for a certain loan amount doesn’t mean you should take it. Banks calculate your approval based on their criteria-not necessarily what’s best for your financial situation. You know your budget, goals, and lifestyle better than anyone, so borrow wisely and stay within a range that feels comfortable for you.
