<prompt> Human: I have zero debt, a 100k salary, and about 200k for a downpayment on a home. Im looking to buy a home and just wondering what price range I should be looking in?  <response>: If you have a 100k salary; your net is probably around 6,000 after retirement account contributions. You should put no more than 30 towards housing, so you can afford an all-in payment of 2,000mo towards mortgage, insurance, and etc. Assuming you have an above average credit score; aim for something in the 300k range. Put down 20-25 and put the rest of you cash to work in investments!
