My husband and I are trying to figure out how we can get a larger mortgage. Together our combined income is $67,000. I have a master's degree and he is completing his Master's in Computer Science. We have a monthly car payment of $450 and no credit card debt. The problem is that my husband has nearly $60000 in school loans. This seams to be really hurting the amount we can get for a mortgage despite the fact that we currently pay $960/month in rent. We have approximatly $20,000 for a down payment. What do you suggest we do?
