Using the 28% housing cost guideline, you need at least $65,304/year gross household income to comfortably afford the median Indiana home.
A 20% down payment is $47,000. FHA loans allow 3.5% down ($8,225), conventional loans start at 3% ($7,050), and VA loans offer 0% down for eligible veterans. Putting less than 20% down adds PMI (~0.5%/year), removed at 20% equity.
