<prompt> Human: By the time I move Ill be married with plans to start a family. I have a total of 100,000 USD in my US checking account. No investments or saving accounts. I have no loans to pay. No debts. Im guaranteed a job in Toronto for two years, but it will most likely be four years if not even more. My salary will be around 6Kmonth after taxes.I feel that paying 2Kmonth rent for 2 years 50,000 down the drain is a bad idea if Im staying that long. In the same time, I feel I dont have enough money to be a home owner. How do I get around having a house in the expensive GTA, with a reasonable mortgage, without blowing away all my savings?Edit: My wife might find herself in a job that pays 3Kmo, but thats not guaranteed and wont happen before a year into my stay at least.Edit2: Im CanadianEdit3: Most condos that interest me are in the 300-500k range...TL;DR: I have 100k saved. My income will be 6kmonth. Average rent would be 2kmonth. Average Condo price is 300-500k.Edit: this amazing Rent vs Buy calculator solved my dilemma Its a close call.Thanks!  <response>: Jesus Christ dude, do some research. 2 years is NOT long enough to warrant spending like half a million on a home. Rent.
