ParticipantI didn’t quite understand your post. The company she works for pays her $1600/month rent? If she bought, would she herself be making the monthly payments or would the company do it?
Why does she want to buy if her rent is paid for? This makes absolutely no sense. She would be giving up a $1600/month benefit in exchange for an approximately $1800-2000 month liability. That’s a $3,400 swing. How could anyone think this is a good idea?
Personally, I think it’s outrageous that someone in your girlfriend’s position could get a loan for $250K. After taxes, the monthly payment would consume almost all of her monthly nut. Unfortunately, FHA will probably welcome your girlfriend with open arms only to see her foreclosed upon in less than a year.
Plus, it’s almost guaranteed that the place your girlfriend ends up buying will be worse than her current condo. I can think of no reason why she should buy.

Breeze, seriously, have you ever shopped at the Albertsons in City Heights? It is really chaotic EVERY day. The workers refer to it as “the jungle.” People already live like this, and they can still access food. Once I watched a guy walk out of the store with several bags of food, and the workers were running after him yelling that he was a thief. Ummm, that’s it, nothing else happenned. I live in North Park, but shop in Clairemont because the chaos, disruption, disrespect is too unpleasant.
[/quote]I tend to shop at the most expensive grocery stores I can find so that I don’t have to deal with the riff-raff. And shopping at a crowded grocery store is in no way equivalent to fighting over the last scrap of food because the “trucks are no longer running”.
