Default Re: How much would I need to make a down payment on a HOME...

Also remember the rule of thumb that your mortgage debt shouldn't exceed 28% of income. That's another guide to help decide if you can afford the home you are looking at. An additional one is that you shouldn't spend more than 3 times your income on your home.
