re: Buy or Rent

You are from Beaumont, so you probably know the area pretty well. I'd normally say rent for a year and get comfortable with the area before you buy.
I'd just get a 6 month lease or live with family and accumulate cash and build or purchase your dream house somewhere nice. Extend lease as needed.
And congrats on graduation.

The nicest apartment in Beaumont only costs 1100 for a 900 square foot 1 bedroom with study. A whole years rent would be $13,200. Decent area of town. 3% interest on a $250,000 dollar loan is $7,500. Interest, property taxes, any home maintainance, etc could get pretty close to $13,000 after 1 year, so I don't think I would just be wasting away too much money if I rented for a year.
