Grant,
You can save the $40,000 slowly even on a 50K take home salary, that's not the issue. The issue is making the monthly mortgage and taxes on 50K per year on a $400,000+ home.
The rule of thumb to a sound real estate investment is not too exceed 20% of take home pay in monthly mortgage and tax costs. So, yes, I agree with you that someone making 50K per year shouldn't buy a $400,000 home. They should be looking at homes between $275,000-$325,000 to play it safe.
