Question: Am I too young to buy a house? I am 18 years old. Me and Fiance have a 1 year daughter. I work full time and He works 2 jobs, full and part time. My fiance think we are ready to buy a house. They are pretty cheap houses and they re nice looking. But I am only 18. Should we even be thinking about a house?

Answer: Yes, if you have an income, the earlier you invest in a house the sooner you can get it payed off.  Look for something inexpensive as a starter home.  Or even a town house. Just don't get something that is out of a reasonable price range. If you are married and have a child, you are better off investing in something like a house then paying someone rent.\n\nIt really depends on where you live as to what kind of houses are out there and how much they sell for.  I live in Oklahoma and bought a nice sized house for only $29k, the same house in South Carolina would go for over $100k and the same house in California would go for about $300k.  \n\nSo do some homework and be patient.  There are some good deals in your area I'm sure.  Good luck!
