Is it a bad idea to buy my first home given the current interest rates?!

Hi, I'm new to Dallas. Have been eyeing on rental investment in Dallas. Looking into Zillow, properties in Arlington seem to have good appreciation. Is it good idea to invest in Arlington? What other areas in Dallas can I consider (checked Carrollton, Plano, Coppell, Addison).
Thank you.

I joined @mindtree in Jan 2022. Suddenly there is a 10k deduction in salary in the month of April. The salary slip say 10k deduction as INCOME TAX. Mindtree says "You come under 20% slab according to the income tax calculations. When all the tax slabs are applied you will have to pay yearly tax around Rs. X amount. So that amount will be deducted in monthly basis." Why sudden income tax deduction? Why was that not deducted in the month of Jan Feb March ? How can i recover that 10k every month?

This is only for 3-5 years to ultimately buy a decent home for my family.

I'm clearly a dummy so any help is greatly appreciated.

I went under contract last fall for a new build that will be done later this year. In the contract the seller/builder included a clause that gave them the ability to change the price without cause anytime before the house is complete. This past week they invoked that clause to increase the price by like 7%, supposedly due to material costs. I can either agree to the increase or they return my deposit. My question: is that type of clause even legal? (Cont)
