Are we over-leveraged?

My wife and I own a 2 flat with 3 units in the city and we live in one of the units. It was our starter home when we got married. Now we have 2 toddlers and have outgrown the 3 bedroom 2 bath unit.
We just closed on SFH that could be our home for the next 20 years, with lots of yard and in the suburbs with one of the best public school systems.
Now that the high has gone down a bit, I am feeling a bit un easy with the amount of debt / liabilities we currently have. Here are the rounded numbers and notes. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • 2-flat, Zillow estimate $600K. Monthly PITI $3600, 6 years ($130k) left in a 15 year loan @ 3.6%
  • New SFH $600K, Monthly PITI $4200, 30% down, 30 year (400k) loan @ 6.5%
  • Annual Household income - gross 250K, Monthly Net 15k hits bank account (we tried to max out 401k)
  • Monthly food, childcare, daycare, utilities, bills and misc bullshit ~ 7k. (very rough estimate). daycare and childcare will go away in future, might be replaced by school and recreational stuff.
  • Have signed contract with property management company to take over 2-flat. Market comparable for total rent for all 3 units is 5k. Management company takes 7-10% monthly. 1 month rent for lease signing. 1 unit has tenant (rent 1k), 1 unit vacant, renter just moved out and we just finished repairs and management company is taking over tenant leasing(rent 2k), we currently live in one unit and is in process of moving (rent 2k).
  • Have only enough liquid funds to pay both mortgages for maybe 6 months if we both lose our jobs and no renters. before having to tap into retirement accounts.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
