A 2 bedroom condo with a decent patio and garage would be a solid choice for first time home buyers.

I agree with this. I didn't buy my first stand alone house on a decent lot until much later. I started in a condo and then a little "garden home" and built up equity and savings before I made the jump to a house in a decent subdivision. I spent time there before finally establishing equity, savings and career advancement to where I bought a nice house in a nice neighborhood. Seems like some people want the whole package dropped in their lap from the get go.
