This thread has run into 3 pages and has been for 24 hours and just ONE Desi has cared to state the breakup.
Are Desi's of CD afraid of redicule to post such information or are they of a mentality as to "I have a house, donot let others know how I could afford it"?
I am really surprised.

Chittesh,
No one expect Dimple has replied to what was asked in this thread. I assume that maybe others PM'ed you the details?
If so could you please make an analysis and post it in the forum.
As said previously, It would immensly help Desi's calculate as to if they can afford a mortgage or not.

Hi TK,
As Dimple and I have mentioned earlier in our posts that every body's situation is different and it would not help any one to know what other is spending on his/her house costs. That is the reason you are not getting any posts here.
If you want to know about your situation, please either contact a mortgage professional or go to your bank and discuss your situation in full details and find out if you should continue renting or go for owning your 'own sweet home'.

To answer Cheetish's original Inquiry:
In the housing industry it is recommended that your housing expenses should be around 30 to 32 percent of your gross income.
For Qualifying purposes in the industry we say that there are two simple rules that can help you determine how much you can afford in monthly housing costs.
First, your home-related expenses cannot exceed 32% of your gross monthly income: housing costs include monthly mortgage payments (principal & Interest), taxes and heating.
Second, your entire monthly debt load including housing-related cost cannot exceed 40% of your gross monthly income.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
Please also read the "Articles" section on CD. Many readers who are in the Real Estate and Financing Industries have written some good articles.

I may not agree with your opinions, but I will fight to death for you be able to air your views.
Oooooooooooops!
.........let me add one more thing to my previous input.....
You can bring down the actual monthly payment by using longer Amortization
The standard Amortization used is 25 years, however we can now use 30, 35 and 40 years, however, this can, for practical reasons, be shortened by making slightly larger payments each month immediately after the purchase is completed or in the future if you have extra savings each month.
This also has it's disadvantages and the main one is the total amount of interest (cost of borrowing) paid over the long term is more. It allows famalies easier affordability though.
