How much could I get a mortgage for if I make 31k a year?

I’ve been hearing about this 8k home credit if your a first time homebuyer and buy a new house. I’m thinking about buying a place by the end of the year.

I don’t make that much money, only 31k a year, however my motorcycle and car are both paid off so I don’t have any big bills, pretty much only a credit card payment and my cell phone bill.

How much could I get a mortgage for and better yet how much could I afford?
