I have always heard the loan should be 3x or less (so 100k salary = a 300k loan). Though that was back when interest rates were much higher and initially you would be paying mostly interest. Most people here are doing 5x or more. As far a

Correct me if I'm wrong but this just seems like the next wave of gentrification. If you make a place nice and safe, people with the most disposable income buy it all up. Everybody feels this way about the next wave. I'm not unsym

I'd assume it's a percentage of net income. If the median 1 bedroom apartment is $3000 and that is ~80% of net income that means they make $3750 a month which is 45k per year net. Gross would be about 70k. That seems ballpark corr
