The question asked most often when buyers start the home buying process is "How much of a mortgage can I afford?" How much of a mortgage you can afford will directly relate to the house price ranges that you can consider when purchasing a home. The answer to this question is not scientific, but there are guidelines that borrowers can go by in order to figure out what mortgage amount they can qualify for.
