Some people start looking for a home without any idea about what they can afford or the market value of their current home. The best advice is to first determine how much of a house you can afford, then when you start your search, you will not look at houses out of your price range which can be a hugh disappointment.
Mortgage companies generally look at your income to determine how much money they will lend. Two usual methods are listed below.
28 percent formula: Total monthly housing principal plus interest plus taxes plus insurance equals 28 percent or less of your gross income (before taxes)
36 percent formula: Total monthly housing principal plus interest plus taxes plus insurance plus all monthly debts equals 36 percent or less of your gross income (before taxes)
To be sure about your financial qualifications we recommend that you get pre-approved. This is where you visit a morgage company and get quilified to purchase a house. They will give you a good idea as to how much you should spend for a home.
