Mr Roper said it's essential to determine how much you can afford based on your lifestyle and monthly expenses, and whether this will change in future by having children. Over the past few months Mr Roper has gained a strong following of more than 22,000 people on TikTok by sharing his trusted information in short videos. 'Just because the bank is offering you a $800K mortgage, doesn't mean you have to take the maximum amount,' Mr Roper said. 'Most real estate agents do the right thing and always ensure this factor is incorporated into the contract, but it's always worth checking,' Mr Roper said.
