<prompt> Human: Brief Background:Yesterday our rental house basically filled with sewage and today we were told that we need to move out ASAP. Im nearly 4 months pregnant and both my SO 23yo and I22yowork full time. We make about 110k a year combined income, we both have over 10k in savings, no college debt, he has a decent trust, and I will be getting between 200k-400k from a car accident case in the next few months. We are able to borrow the down payment from his parents if we find a house before the case pays out. So that is where we stand financially. We could rent, but we know we will be staying in this area for at least until our future child graduates because the schools are top notch. We both have secure jobs and the opportunity to work at other companies in the area if we did decide to switch jobs. We are close to a city we like and our families. Plus the rentals in the areas that we want to live are both overpriced and very crappy. Anything nice seems to have a no dog policy. We have two dogs. Initially, his mother said we could stay with her, but now she seems to be urging us to find a short term rental. But moving twice while pregnant is pretty ill advised. Still, we dont want to rush to buy a house. The real questions:Does renting for 3 months or living with his mom if we can work it out and then looking for a house in the 300k-500k range with a baby on the way seem like an alright idea for people in our situation? Is there anything we should know or look out for? If you need any more information please let me know. Im also reading about the process of house buying elsewhere, but Im rather overwhelmed with the shit haha, literally though that happened yesterday so hearing some general input would be very helpful.  <response>: I highly recommend renting for another year, getting settled into new parenthood and then figuring out your home buying needs. You are about to go through a ton of changes, you need to see how that effects your life before you decide on something as permanent as a house. For example, you may discover you need to be closer to family or decide you want to stay home with the baby. Childcare may be more expensive than you realized or all your other new expenses could be more than you planned. At your age, you can afford to wait another year. Also, and I cant state this enough... Do not buy a house with your SO if you are not married. Especially, if all the down payment is coming from you. Youre just setting yourself up to lose a bunch of home equity and have a major legal headache if the relationship doesnt work out.
