The answer would be yes, depending. A good rule of thumb is to calculate 43% of your gross income. Then, subtract your monthly payments (credit cards, installment loans and such). You'll be left with a figure that should be close to you eligible amount for a total monthly mortgage payment (principal, interest, taxes and insurance). It would be wise to ensure that even if my calculation allows this total monthly payment to be over 31% of your gross income, that you try not to take a mortgage payment over that amount. Many do, but it stretches them financially.
