Your housing payment, including principal, interest, property tax, homeowners insurance and any PMI, should stay under about 28% of your gross monthly income, and all of your monthly debt payments together should stay under about 36%.

A larger down payment, paying down other debts, or a lower rate from a local lender all raise your budget.
