How much can I afford to pay?

Dear Agent Alice,
How much can I really afford to pay? Should I have a number or a range?
–Careful

Dear Careful,
Part of the buying equation is about the dollars. Think seriously about what you need and want and that means what you can afford.
I can help with that.

Talking to a mortgage person gives you a range of what you can afford. I know several dependable and honest mortgage representatives. Call me.
