Keep in mind that mortgage lenders have rules that they follow, such as the popular 28/36 guideline. It suggests that no more than 28 percent of a person's gross monthly income should be spent on housing costs (which includes your mortgage, taxes, and insurance) and no more than 36 percent on all debt. So before you get too deep into mapping out mortgage scenarios, it might be best to speak with a professional who can guide you through the numbers.
