    Hi Noel - Could you help us understand how we can better match our pay rate to your expectations for this HIT? On average, participants earn a bonus of about $4.00. So, total earnings should land around $11.00 ($7.00 + $4.00). Most participants take less than 45 minutes to complete this HIT. This makes our effective hourly pay rate around $15.00/hr, which exceeds both the federal and California minimum wage. What do you feel would be a fair rate for a HIT like this?

    I put like 50k down or so? Although it wasn't required to put down that much. I chose to.

    Check with your state for first time homebuyer down payment assistance and grants and what not if you need it.

    You really should try to put down at last 20% - that way you can avoid private mortgage insurance. Otherwise PMI is mandatory.

    Also IDK what I'm talking about, so don't take anything I just said as fact.

    yeah the mortgage calculator I'm using on a website - it says I would need a down payment of $130,000 on a $160,000 condo. because of my income being low. so all I need to do is get an 82% down payment. other than that I'm good with everything else.

    Being a turker has nothing to do with how much down payment you need though.

    Being a turker has everything to do with the loan officers ability to verify your income and take you seriously. Good luck explaining mturk though. It wasn't fun.

    So basically the calculator is concluding that you'll only get approved for a 30k loan. Well, it's using whatever metric to determine what you can afford based on your income, for example 1/3 of your monthly income to go toward mortgage is a common one.

    Actual mortgage companies have their own metrics they follow. So you could always try to get a pre-approval for more, but you may be wasting your time. May need to up your income a bit first, or look for something cheaper than 160k.
