Always live below your means.

Housing is overrated as an investment, however, you do have to live somewhere.

I would say maybe 20% of income is the maximum I would consider for housing.
The less, the better.

Most banks will let you go 30-35%, FHA loan will let you go up to 43%...with approved Credit of course.
