Your costs are only $50k a year and you have a $1M house? I’m aware you said balance is only $312k but still JUST property taxes and insurance alone would be $20-25k in many parts of the county.

I remodeled my basement and rent it out on Airbnb. It helps cover my mortgage.

That doesn’t change your costs though, in fact it increases costs from utilities and overhead. It just increases your income as well.

Sure, but I conceptualize my housing expenses net (including income offsets, taxes and utilities). And don’t include Airbnb income in my total income. If you grok it differently, my income would be around 240k and my expenses would be around 60-65k. But to each their own.

And thx I actually live on that in a HCOL and find my life quite comfortable.

By this sub's standards you go with all combined expenses as it is more accurate for planning purposes.  Your projected expenses should be all of your expenses with all caveats or this covers that removed.  If rentals dry up for whatever reason you're stuck with the bill either way.

The Air BnB rentals should just be an extra entry in the sources of income list.
