MeB asked:


I plan on buying my 1st home this spring. I gross about 65k/yr and the only debt I have is a $222/mo car payment. My credit scores are 729,744,779. I have about 125k in CDS/moneymarkets and plan on using about 40k for a downpayment. I don’t want to be “house poor” but I don’t want a fixer-upper ether. My questions are how much house can I afford comfortable(what price range should I be looking at). Plus how will lenders view me with the info given above and is there anything else they look at when applying for a house loan? I plan on looking in the Albany new york area.

I have seen the calculators on the internet that figure out based on your income and your monthly debt, but are there any other factors that are taken into consideration?

(I have a GOOD credit Score)
