Question: how much money should you make to buy a 3 million dollar house?
Answer: The aggressive lenders may allow 50% of gross income while the more conservative ones will let you borrow up to 33% of your gross income. That's a range of $30K - $45K per month. So to comfortably afford a $3M home you need to be making anywhere from $360K to $540K per year for 30 years, the duration of the loan!
