PE -

Moving to NYC post-MBA; interested in buying a home/condo.

For those who are at VP level (sr. associates welcome if you have it like that): what is the max total purchase price you were able to qualify for on a nice home/condo? 

Note: assume no outside assets [i.e. funded on the basis of your compensation from PE/IB only]

Appreciate any tips on:

1. optimizing purchase price in this market

2. neighborhoods you like 

3. mortgage providers you like
