Income and mortgage payments

Is a $32K per year job (gross) enough to pay for a $170K home with 5% down? Having trouble figuring my affordability. Currently other payments I make every month total $300 (does not include things like utlities)

Hello,If you take your monthly gross income of $2,667 ($32,000/12 months) and multiply this by 32%, this is generally what your total monthly housing payment would need to be around (including your monthly taxes, home insurance, and mortgage insurance if any). I would need to know how much the property taxes are to let you know how much your income would need to be for this home. Unfortunately, you would need more income for this scenario you gave. Depending on what the property taxes are, you would need to have about $42,000 or more in annual gross income to support this mortgage...along with the $300 in additional monthly debt your currently have. Would you have a possible co-signer that could be added to your mortgage?
