Being a first-time home buyer is exciting -- But before you get emotionally attached to a beautiful house, check your monthly budget to determine how much house you can afford. You need to leave room in your budget for other life events, so make sure your monthly housing costs are going to be no more than 30% of your monthly take-home pay. Don’t forget that property taxes and insurance will affect your monthly payment. You’ll need to factor those numbers in before settling o...n a maximum home price. Have more questions?
