PwC What’s the better offer? I’m currently an associate at Mercer in Seattle making 115k with a 10% target, but considering an offer in NYC at PWC as senior associate at 140k with a 15%ish target. Also been at current company for only 9 months. Is it worth it to make that transition so early?

Do we
1. Buy a town home that’s $450k and live there for 4-5 years. Then buy dream home
2. Buy dream home now with a construction loan - live in apartment for a year while it’s built ($1400 on rent/month). Loan amount after down payment would be $650k.

Concepts of “starter homes” is a myth propagated by the real estate industry - you pay too much in commissions and sunk costs. I’d suggest to wait and buy the house you really want. Is the town home for $450k or is that the loan amount on the town home? I would do #2 if the finances work out and you’ll live there for a good decade. Also remember there’s a diff between what u need and what u can afford, lot of people buy property based on the latter.
