If you already have a nice apartment at low rent would you consider buying a home?

I'm single and perfectly happy here. I'm able to save about three thousand a month. What should I do with it all? Retirement plan, check. Car, check.

I spoke with an expert and she says to remain put and save, increasing the amount I could ultimately put toward a down payment. Borrowing is the killer.

Thanks to all for answering.

@SW-User Often housing values will increase faster than you can save. Have the expert do a comparison chart to show appreciation vs. saving.

@Greathands01 I'll just wait until I can manage a 25% down payment.
