Roommate(and close friend) and I got an opportunity to buy the condo we're renting. We'd talked about maybe buying it in a year or two and really love our place but we both graduated and started working in June/July.

Condo: 350k
Salaries: 90-100k for both of us
$1500/mo in rent each

Savings: $12k/$1k (covers 3.5% FHA)
Sister offered $8k loan for closing expenses

Debts:45k/25k After all expenses, debt payment, savings I usually have $1k/mo to spend - not sure on him

Can we do it?

Lenders usually like to know you've been employed and have a stable job. I see getting approved being your only barrier.

At $3,000k a month in rent you would be able to afford the mortgage, taxes, and insurance over a 30 year term. Please get a good lawyer and define ownership and maintenance responsibilities. I'd imagine your monthly mortgage to be around $2500-$3000 a month including taxes, interest, insurance, HOA.

Even if you're living there, make sure to have a proper inspection done :)

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
