I know this has been posted several times before, but what is the max % your mortgage (taxes included) should be of your take home pay each month. All answers appreciated. Thanks.

Guideline is 28% of your gross monthly income. 36% including your other debt. These are only guidelines are there are lendors that will allow much greater percentages.

But only you know what your expenses are to figure it out based on your net income.
