Homes in that range would be $2000 - $3000 a month. That's a large portion of your take-home pay. That's not even accounting for property taxes.

Edit: I didn’t factor in your downpayment so it’s be more $1500 - $2500

Yes, I believe payments would be around $2k a month. Which is not too far of from what I would be paying for an apartment - most 1brs starting at $1500

no you need to have at least 20 percent for down payment or you will need to pay pmi, once you buy all utility becomes your problem so add probably 100-200 to electricity, water, gas, trash, then add some homeowner insurance and property tax. Don't forget about the potential cost of hoa, yard maintenance and regular interior maintenance.
