EXCITING Ray A. Fox, Licensed Realtor OVER OR UNDERSPENDING QUESTION: Are there guidelines as to how much a family should spend for the purchase of a home in rela- tion to income? ANSWER: There are guidelines published by len- ding institutions. But — like the "height/weight" charts printed on scales — these are only averages. Don't hold back if you feel you can exceed the guide- lines. A good house may seem costly in the begin - ning, but the rewards are well worth it — especially if you get the right financing. Investing in a house that's a little more expensive gives you an excellent inflation hedge while your family en- joys a better place to live. , Also, the resale opportunity is often better.
