mortgage calculator
snwangl82 asked:


My boy friend and I were quoted for a mortgage awhile ago that we would be able to do about 150 to 180K ,not too bad. But when I did a mortgage calculator online it only came out with the 35K total. We make more than some people we know and they own own homes. What did I do wrong? I just can’t believe that we would not be able to be qualified for a mortgage amount that is at least reasonable and would get us something nice and not a condo or townhome. Even though that is what everyone is telling us to buy. Please some one restore my faith or will we never be able to have a home of our own.

how much house can i afford
LuckyOne asked:


My husband and I make $70,000 before tax per year and our total monthly bills (cars, credit cards, student loans, insurance etc.) are about $1300/month. I think we can afford an $1,100/month mortgage payment - about $168,000 home - but what will the lender say? Our credit is rated in the middle - about 620 average score.
