Four numbers to know before you shop
1 · Comfort
What fits comfortably into your life, with room left for what matters outside the house.
2 · Stretch
What you might spend for the right house, and exactly what you'd give up to do it.
3 · Ceiling
The number you're not crossing, no matter how pretty the kitchen is.
4 · Cash Cushion
How much cash you want left after you buy. Enough to breathe.
Then run any house you're serious about through your numbers to see where it lands.
Why not just use a mortgage calculator?
Because "I qualify for it" and "I want this payment every month" are two very different things. A calculator doesn't know you'd still like to travel, or that Friday night takeout has quietly become a fixed household expense. This worksheet starts with your life and works backward to the house.
This is for you if…
- Your lease renewal is coming up and you're wondering whether to buy instead
- You're starting a new job on the Space Coast
- You've got a quiet feeling it might be time, and you'd like a plan before you get attached to a house

I’m Rhiannon Tunnell, a Brevard County real estate agent who believes buying a home should start with understanding what works for your life—not just what you may qualify to borrow.
My approach is simple: give you good information, help you ask better questions, and make sure you understand your options before you make a decision. No pressure to buy. No trying to make a house fit when the numbers say it doesn’t. Just practical guidance to help you make a real estate decision you can feel good about long after closing day.

Questions
Do I need a house in mind?
Nope. The worksheet works best before you've fallen for one.
Will this tell me what I can afford or qualify for?
No. It helps you set personal planning numbers based on what you enter. It isn't a loan approval. Your lender handles the financing side, and these numbers help you compare what you're offered with the life you're trying to build.
Am I signing up for a sales pitch?
You'll get the worksheet by email. If you add your phone and check the text box, I may text to see if you have questions. Otherwise, I won't. Unsubscribe or reply STOP anytime.
Do I have to work with you?
No. Use the worksheet however it helps.
