$1,800 a month for a one bedroom apartment.

Most landlords require you to earn 2.5 to 3 times the monthly rent to qualify. That means you need $4,500 to $5,400 a month in income just to get approved for a STARTER apartment.

That's $54,000 to $65,000 a year. Before taxes.

Show me the 22 year old fresh out of college clearing that number. I'll wait too.

This isn't a generational laziness problem. The math genuinely doesn't work for most young adults entering the workforce right now.

The median starting salary for a college graduate in 2025 was around $58,000. Sounds decent until you realize:

• Federal and state taxes take roughly 22 to 25%
• Take home pay lands around $3,600 to $3,800 a month
• A $1,800 apartment eats 47 to 50% of that before you buy a single bag of groceries

The standard rule is housing should be no more than 30% of your income. At $1,800 a month that requires a take home of $6,000 a month. That's $85,000 to $90,000 gross income.

For a one bedroom starter apartment.

The system isn't broken for young people. It's working exactly as designed for people who already own property. For everyone else the math is just genuinely brutal right now.

MORTGAGE EDUCATION :

It never gets old when they say, 'I am waiting for rates to come down to 4%.' Ummmm,NO‼️ It's time to learn why waiting isn't a good strategy. If you wait, you'll pay a higher price for the home, leading to a higher payment and zero equity gain. However, buying now and locking in at 5.75-6.5% allows you to refinance when rates drop to 4%, resulting in a super low payment and substantial equity. Take action now and appreciate the decision later. For expert mortgage guidance, call 978-387-4096.

If you're wondering whether a 580 credit score can get you a mortgage… the best answer won’t come from Google — it comes from a loan officer.

BE READY!!!! Considering that rates are going down, having a proper mortgage approval is critical. The debt-to-income ratio and buying power are the most critical factors in mortgage approval. To determine these, you will need to provide financial information, consisting of W2 income or last year’s tax returns, last 30 days’ paystubs, and last 2 months’ bank statements. Let’s review your options and scenario to determine if you are ready to buy with current rates.
