The recommended way without having to call a <a href="http://www.zillow.com/mortgage/">Loan</a> Officer is to take the highest payment you feel comfortable with and subtract about 150.00 for taxes and insurance. So 1400 payment per month minus 150 taxes and insurance would be 1250 Pi payment. Then take that amount x 175= 220k. Which based on 30 years 5.1% APR is your overall purchase buying power?This is one method.
