Default Re: First job and owning a home? Help!

Mortgage brokers will qualify you sometimes for a lot more than you really can afford. Decide what you can afford as well. Also if you are waiting a year save up some more. You are really in a great position right now.

Also make sure that you have a good emergency fund as well. A house can be more expensive than just renting. Repairs, maintenance etc.
