my "evergreen" advise :


Anytime is a good time to buy provided you buy at the right price

This is ofcourse provided you have some comfoort level of job security and decent emergency savings

ntx, save some money 1st. Property prices wont go up by 10% next week, so u have ample time.

Learn all u can while u save the capital, start shortlisting what u want to buy and the bargain value price u r willing to pay when opportunity arrises.

Personally, if i were in ur shoes, I'll proceed if both of the following conditions are met :

1. You are buying undervalued property, min 10% below market value. Try to nego a zero down deal, and use as minimal capital posible. This way, you preserve your capital and you can last much longer than just 8 months if u looose your job.

2. The property gives you nearly or positive cashflow. That way you monthly commitments aint that high, and relatively sustainable over substancial period of time.

Good luck
