My brother bought a house when he was 19.

Why doesn't she just get an apartment for now? More often than not they take a deposit for pets and it's gotta be easier to find than a house.

She has never lived in an apartment, she's afraid she won't like having so many people living so close to her, above her ceiling, under her floor, on the other side of her walls, etcetera...

There are quite a few houses for rent within 5 miles of here, it's just that they go so fast, and the cat is an issue for some...If we could just find one that accepts pets, before someone else snags it up, we'll be set...It's just a matter of getting it before someone else does...I'm sure it will happen eventually

As for buying a house...She has less than one year on her job and no credit history...There are many available with 'special financing', which usually means ridiculous interest rates...Also, owning a house means fixing EVERYTHING that breaks, and what if it needs a new roof in a couple years? It's too much for her...She has never even mown a lawn before...I don't think she'd care too much for THAT either...She really needs to wait on that one
