Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 28/36 rule?

Lenders typically cap housing costs at 28% of gross income and total debt at 36%. FHA allows up to 31/43 in many cases.

Should I use the max price?

Just because you qualify doesn't mean you should buy at the max. Leave room for maintenance, repairs, and lifestyle costs.
