Mortgage Tips & Hacks – Quick & Easy Guide

Here are some simple answers to the most common mortgage questions I get:


1️⃣ How Much Can I Qualify For?

Quick Rule: For every $100K in income, you qualify for about $400K in mortgage financing.
Your Max Home Price? Add your down payment to that amount.

Example:

  • If you earn $100K per year and have $50K saved for a down payment, you could afford a $450K home.

2️⃣ What Will My Monthly Mortgage Payments Be?

Quick Rule: Every $100K in mortgage costs about $550 per month.

Example:

  • A $400K mortgage = $2,200 per month ($550 × 4).

(Estimate based on a typical 5-year fixed rate—actual payments may vary.)


3️⃣ How Do My Debts Affect How Much I Qualify For?

Quick Rule: Every $100/month in debt payments lowers your mortgage qualification by about $14K.

Example:

  • A $1,000/month car payment reduces your mortgage approval by $140K.
