I’m about to start grad sch at UCSD this fall, and with the housing market down I find myself at the enviable(?) position of having to decide between renting a place or just buying one outright. Budget would be anything less than 200k (which I have in cash so no credit needed) I’ll be living with my girlfriend, and rental over 5 years figures to be around 80k.
Any advice on whether I should rent first, buy now, and what areas I can look into?
1) The amount of money you lose by spending 5 years in grad school (instead of working) vastly exceeds any potential benefits of buying vs. renting.
2) If you were concerned about money, the smart thing to do would be to stay in subsidized student housing for the following 5 years.

It’s always a great time to buy. Housing only goes up in value so you really can’t lose. Besides, if you don’t buy while you can, there is a good chance you’ll get priced out of the market forever.
