My experience is that you need $50,000 income to support mortgage payment, maybe a bit less if you have no debt. I hope this helps.

There are too many variables involved besides credit score & income & answer here. You need to speak with a couple of lenders. My web site has some references. I also have other names if you like.
One of the many difficulties in this market is 'getting a loan'. Even with income and a decent credit score, you usualy need a decent down payment and many other things. Based on your total package, the condo you look for might also need to meet certain requirements like taxes/assessment/% of owner occupancy/FHA and other things.
Let me know if you would like some help.
