Mortgage Know-How A mortgage is the transfer of an interest in property (or the equivalent in law - a charge) to a lender as a security for a debt - usually a loan of money. While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is the lender's security for a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land (or the equivalent) from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower.

I think it's depends on your income, how much do you earn monthly..you have to make budget on your daily expenses and income and the excess will tell you of how mortgage you can afford.

another important consideration: Just because you can borrow a certain amount, doesn't mean you should! Take a very close look at you REAL debt servicing capacity, be realistic and build in a bit of "fat" so you're actually able to save some cash as well as pay the bills.

calculate what the mortgage payments for these homes would be…add what you will have to pay monthly toward property taxes, insurance…add to this number your monthly utility costs… then add to number your monthly utility costs…also chk your monthly budget for home maintenance…compare this figure with your monthly net income to estimate affordability…multiply your monthly income by 0.40 ... if that figure is equal to or greater than your estimated monthly cost figures…
