I also have emergency funds for 3 months on the side.I am now interested in buying a house rather than continuing to rent? Does it make sense? I am a newbie in this regard. What value of house approx can I afford in Bay area? Where should I head to check apr of loan offered to me? Also, I am not a US citizen. I am a resident alien working on H1B. My green card is filed so my H1B is practically unlimited till I get the green card.Regards,BB  <response>: You dont even have the cash to close the loan in the Bay Area. You wont even qualify.Assuming you did qualify, you have no idea if you will even be allowed to stay for five years. Rent.
