<prompt> Human: Tl;dr, pretty decent chunk of inherited cash, wondering if I can pull off getting a condo vs renting.Hi all, I am 21 and currently go to Arizona State University, and Im trying to plan for my next few years here. Years back I received an inheritance from my grandpa, both of cash and 50 ownership in our family house along with my sister. Through the years Ive used the cash for essential life things, a new car, school stuff, you know the drill. I currently have about 65-70,000 in that account now, and my scholarship covers all school expenses except for books and all that. Its worth noting that only my mom has access to the account until Im 25, but shes on board with my plan.Ive been in the dorms here on campus the last year as our house is quite far away. Theyre expensive, dingy, and I really just do not like living in them. I was wondering if you fine people here think its a wise choice using a chunk of that money for a down payment on a condo and getting a mortgage for the rest?I work part time at a bank making 12hr, 20 hours a week. Theres a few condos nearby that I quite like, theyre cozy little places from about 105k-115k. I would like to get another part time job which will be tough on top of school, but Im willing to work hard so I feel like I can pull this off, and it seems to make more sense to me than dumping money into rent or dorms that Ill never see again.Am I being realistic in my ability to afford one of these places? And if so, how much of my money should I put towards the condo while still keeping a responsible safety net? I plan on moving to Australia once Ive finished school so this will only be a 3 year venture or so, but my own gut tells me this is a better alternative to renting.Edit: forgot to mention my mom is willing to cosign a mortgage. But yikes, not great feedback.  <response>: Nobody is going to loan you money on a part time job.
