<prompt> Human: I live in Northern Virginia in Herndon area. I would like to know if I could afford a 400k home if my household income is 70k. I pay 500 per month on education loan plus i pay around 600 in monthly expenses. I have good credit rating and can do 60k down. If you think I cant afford it what is a number you think I could afford?New to Personalfinance, let me know if more info is needed.Edit: I feel 400k home is way over my budget so lets see 300k home along with if i rent a room or basement for 800  <response>: I dont really have enough information to give you a legitimate answer because you didnt give us any details, but Im pretty comfortable going out on a limb and saying no.
