Does anyone have an idea on what the max someone could afford if they were making ~90K/year and had no debt and around $90k to put down

you need to look at it monthly. I've always heard you should spend about 25% of you take home income on your mortgage. I would keep it under 30% for sure.

quick rule of thumb I have always heard is 3x your yearly salary.

$90,000 / 12 = $7500 month before taxes. $7500 * 36% (.36) = $2700. $2700 - all other monthly expenses is what you should look to spend on a monthly mortgage.
