Of course there are several calculations one can perform to come to the answer. Most of which require figuring your debt to income ratio (what one has compared to what owes) most banks or S&l institutions will not loan if an individual has a 35% or greater debt to income. What I generally tell my clients is that you should not look into buying a home that costs more than 2 and a half times your families gross income ( if you and your partners combined income is 68000 a year or better and your debt to income is less than 35% overall, then you should be golden)

Can you still qualify to buy a house if you have low income?

Yes, possibly. You can buy a house for cash from savings or investment with no income at all, and then keep it as long as you can make the tax payments and other assessments. If your lack of income is "probably temporary" (like you're in prison for a short period, or "between jobs", or "in graduate school"), you may still qualify for a loan. If you cannot afford to pay the interest on a loan to purchase a house, then it is a really bad idea to consider buying a house. You will fail to make the payments and it will be taken away.
