My lease is up September, 2023. I know that’s a bit away, but I’ll definitely be moving out from my current apartment and I’m wondering if I should be considering buying a co-op or continue renting. I have the money for a down payment, but wondering if it may be better to rent for a little while longer and save for an actual house

I’m guessing you’re in New York. Make sure you read up on the implications of a co-op, each one has different limitations and guardrails on what you can do with your unit.
