I'm '96 and currently looking to buy a house. I wouldn't expect to qualify for someone to give me a $500k 30yr/fixed loan unless I was pulling in $10k/mo. post

I'm '96 and currently looking to buy a house. I wouldn't expect to qualify for someone to give me a $500k 30yr/fixed loan unless I was pulling in $10k/mo. post tax which yeah, is in the neighborhood of $200k household salary and even then I would be stupid to take it.
