Come on Waiting Hawk, if the couple makes 65k a year thats likely not going to happen. There is alot of good advice to be had about waiting and learning to time the bottom of the market on this board. Then the best advice is earn more money, 65k will be cutting it close, even when things do melt down.
A condo is a more realistic first purchase at that income level, if as the poster says he doesn’t want to get down to no free income.
