Down payment is not $60k. That's only if you want to avoid PMI. That said, putting down less means several hundred more a month in payment.
Also, not sure how you are doing the math to get to a required $200k income. $7k/month is $84k/year. Even with taxes, that is a little over $100k.
At least you roughly lock in a monthly rate. I was happy to not have 15% rent increases each year.
