And Ongoing costs of mortgage payments, insurance, and property taxes. Lenders assess the ability to purchase by using formulas to determine payment capabilities. You can determine what you can afford before you begin the purchase process. Knowing what you can afford will help ensure that you are looking at homes in your price range and that you can make an offer, when you find your dream home.
