<prompt> Human: TL;DR-Were both 29, currently living with my parents. Our current household income is 85kyear. No debts. E-fund is around 10k. Have another 25k saved, and were looking to move out.We were originally considering an apartment. A 1-2br at about 1300mo. However, the houses in our area are relatively cheap. Our dream home would run us a mortgage of about 900mo using zestimate 4 after a 20 down payment.Would you say its wiser to wait and save up for that down payment and closing costs? Or just sign a lease for a year and save up while were in the apartment? ---Longform: Were at a crossroads here because eventhough were looking to move out, our future in this area is only certain for another 18 months. We may have to move for 3 years following that, or we may not. We wont know for sure until it is time. Were also considering first time home buyer loans to expedite the process and take some burden off, but thats a discussion for later I suppose. Right now were just trying to decide between whether we should rent, or put that rent money towards something we will eventually own.Thank you in advance.  <response>: Rent. Especially if you may move in three years. Rent.
