I got the same score on my GMAT...is that good enough for b school?
Anything above 740 is considered excellent

"I only make 450k / year is that good?" - Something OP would say
Yes, that's good credit - but credit is one of many many factors in a mortgage approval process
Good enough
Debt to income is going to be the largest factor in a decision.
Shut up OP
It's pretty much credit score and debt to income ratio, if both of those are good you're golden
I'm interested in this "lots of wine" idea. @Acn1 care to elaborate?
You entertain more with a new home! $250 min per month on the entertain at home budget
We have a ton of people over now and so that means buying food and booze.
I had a similar credit rating, but both me and my SO applied for the loan together and have good credit rating. We got the loan at 3.89% , we also took the first time home owner benefit and didn't do the 20% down payment. Approach a major bank right now and check how much loan are you pre-approved for.
"What does high score mean? Did I break it?"
That's a good rating. What's the interest rate you are being offered?
How much do you want to pay per month?
Whatever that number is, make sure it includes escrow, home repairs, more utility costs for a bigger space than an apartment, plus lots of wine. Don't just factor in the mortgage/debt on the house.

If you were really trying to find an answer for this type of question use google
Careful how much you are preapproved for. That's literally the top of what the bank thinks you can afford, which is frequently more than you can actually afford because the bank only looks at mortgage. If they pre-approve you for, say, a 500k loan, take a look at what that means for your monthly payment. And understand the terms of that quote (fixed interest rate? Number of years, down payment required, etc.).
Keep your 2000 amount in mind when you start to look at houses and get a feel for what the monthly payment would be for the houses you like.
