Answer: Maybe, If you live like a frugal monk, keep in mind there will always be unexpected expenses on the house as well as the utilities (the seller and utilities can give you those numbers.)
since you say “we” I presume a spouse is involved. Does your $3000.00 include her income? Would she be able to pick up a local job that wouldn’t require her to have a 2nd vehicle. If you want a rough estimate of what your vehicle costs will be double what you spend on gas.
Subtract all of those numbers from your net income and this will leave your budget for food clothing other expenses and
emergencies. I paid off a 12% – 10 year mortgage in 8 years
it wasn’t easy or fun. PS I did all the repair work on my vehicles and the property.
