wow I am late to the party here but: wow.
couple dates short term, gets married and only 1 person is working to earn an income? Said income earner wants to quit work to go to med school and unemployed wife is itching to get out of his parents basement and does not want to wait till med school is over- she wants to buy an expensive condo now.
Financially- although you are going through hassles and issues now with divorce threats, pressure and screaming fits- and you are all alone in this onslaught from her and her father...I imagine you would also be all alone 2 years from now when the bills are piled up, you cant afford med school anymore and are thinking of quitting halfway through, and you are in danger of foreclosing.
And I think she would leave you either way. If you wont get the condo, and also once you cant afford to finance her lifestyle anymore.

To salvage this- I can only think of waiting for her to cool down- and suggesting move into a rental. As a young woman myself- it might be really uncomfortable for her to live in the basement of her parents in law whom I think might be from a different culture. If you pose it to er as a last resort to make you both happy- she might warm up to the idea of finding an apt to rent.
In todays economy- you can find great rentals at greater prices.
