EXAMPLE: 120k income breakdown (10k/month):

Federal actual rate 16.5% (24% marginal)

CA State actual rate 6.4% (9.3% marginal)

Medicare rate 1.45%

OSDI rate 6.2 %

CA SDI rate 1.0%

Total:31.55% total before tax deductions and tax shelters

If your mortgage is ~40%, you have ~30% left over.

Per month, this is 4,000 for a mortgage, 3,000 taxes, and 3,000 remainder.

A 4,000/month mortgage covers a 800k loan on $1 million dollar home.

You don't get a lot of house in the bay area for 1 million, So if you are single earning this much, you are looking at condos.

If have two similar earners, you just double everything. E.g. 2 million dollar house with $6,000 per month remaining income.

You are not going to get an 800,000 loan with a repayment of $4,000/mo on a 120K income. For one, that's in jumbo loan territory with more onerous requirements for DTI above and beyond 20% down payment.

You haven't factored in property taxes, home insurance, or anything. Putting these numbers into a calculator, your monthly loan payment is going to be closer to $5,400 a month.

You're taking home $6,800 a month.

You're not living on $1,400 a month in the Bay Area.

No bank is giving you this loan.
