I would suggest you buy a small place of your own...something manageable/affordable. Maybe big enough for one roommate. Two at the most. You can always kick them out if they don't live up to your rules.

I don't buy into the "investment" analysis or the tax deduction/"break" for home interest payments.

I DO buy into the $8000 tax credit you will get if you buy this year providing you have not owned a home in the last 3 years.

But perhaps MOST important at your age, the quantity and quality of your trim will increase. Chicks dig a guy with his own nest no matter how modest. Trust me...one of the first questions you will get when you bring a new one home is a subtle "Soooo...you rent this place?" When you respond "No, I'm buying it." they look at you in a whole different light.

They'll be throwin' that cat on you like pitcher on steroids.
