Picking the Right Home Beyond desires like location and size, when buying your first home the most important thing to consider is how much you can afford. A general rule of thumb is that your home should not cost more than three times your annual income. Per month, total debts owed (including mortgage payments) should not be more than one-third of your monthly income before tax and other deductions.
