<prompt> Human: Hey there PFers, looking for any kind of thoughts or advice for my current situation especially if you have been in a similar situation!.Ive been renting the 2nd floor in a house for the past 6 years its sectioned off into its own apartment. The owners live on the 1st floor. They let me know a few days ago that they will be selling the home in the next few months, and they will be moving out. My lease is up in the beginning of August house is likely to have sold by then, so I have a few months to decide where to go from here.Owners want 380k for the house. 2nd, 1st floor, and basement all have 2 bed 1 bath. House is old like many in the city where I live but in pretty good condition. almost 0 issues in the 6 years I lived there heat stopped working once in the winter a few years ago. This price is on the cusp of what I can afford on my current salary not taking into account renting out part of the house. House is in a really convenient location 5 min walk from several grocery stores and a top global tech company.My finances:-single 28yo, currently make 90kyear 4k takehomemonth after 401k deductionAssets:-45k in savingsdownpayment funde-fund split between checkingsavings -210k in post-tax investment account 160k taxable investment account, 50k roth IRA-20k in 401k this option recently became available for meDebt: 0Expenses: all per month: 650 rent, 150 utilitiesinternet, 80 car insurance, 40 gas, 40 cell phone, 200 food,200 restaurantsentertainment, 100 techmisc, 100 vacationgift fund, 460 Roth IRA.Rentutilities total: 800monthAll expenses total: 2000monthMy thoughts:This is more house than I would normally want to buy. The fact that Im currently living there and that its close to many useful things does not seem like a major reason to buy. If I were to buy, I would rent out the 1st floor and basement, which is 4beds2baths combined. Could probably get 1500month ? in rental income here. Maybe 1200month if I just rent out the 1st floor 2bed1bath. Unsure of these numbers though. Probably going to be a significant lifestyle change becoming a homeowner and landlord. If investors buy, they are very likely to jack up my rent if I were to continue to rent. My rent is currently very low for my area only 1 BR on the 2nd floor is currently available to me, owners are using the 2nd bedroom. 1BRs go for 1000, 2BRs for 1200 in my area.Questions:-If I were to withdraw from my taxable investment account to assist with a down payment, can I withdraw only contributions to avoid capital gains tax? Would prefer not to withdraw from Roth because of those sweet sweet future tax savings.-Is there a rent vs buy calculator out there that takes into account rental income? Did some searching but didnt find anything like this.-Unsure if 380k is a good price. This number is basically plucked from the Zillow estimate, which I know can be BS. Is there someone out there I could hire or something who could help me assess the value of the house? And maybe just help with the buying process in general. I want someone who would be looking out for my own best interests, not theirs.-Anyone else been in a similar situation? Howd it turn out for you? Any other general thoughts are welcome!  <response>: Honestly, theres a huge housing market out there, and the odds that the best house you could buy happens to be the one youre living in currently are very low. Do your due diligence and some market research before committing to this. Theres too much at stake to make a homebuying decision based on a reaction to your landlords decision to sell.
