Thanks everyone for pointing me toward the mortgage calculator. Follow up question, if you don’t mind. I calc’ed a 15 year mortg and a 30 year mortg and obviously I like the monthly payments on the 30 better! I have my eye on a property that I would expect to appreciate in 5 years. Is there anything wrong with going for the 30 year mortg if I expect to sell in 7 years?

I’m not looking for a really specific answer, just a way to get a broad estimate. For example, I’ve heard things like no more than 25% of you gross income. That type of thing. Thanks!

Lauren M asked:


We are interested in a house that we think we can get for $275k. We would put 20% down and have a 220k mortgage. This will be no problem with our dual salary, but we’re thinking that I will stay home when we have kids in a couple years. What salary do you think is appropriate for a 220k mortgage? We need to know what my husband would have to make.

It’s just my 8 month old daughter and I. I’m looking for a 2-3 bedroom 1-1/5 bathroom house in my area. I do not want to be living beyond my means. I will be a first time buyer so I’m curious about different first time buyer programs. Are there any good websites with all of this info??

Michelle M asked:


I’m trying to figure out how much house I can afford based on a certain income. It asks how much monthly debt I owe. Would I include car payments and insurance? I have zero credit card debt and zero student loan debt, so would I just put in zero??
