As it makes very much sense in general all young people are told that they are ultimately wasting their hard earned money living on rent when they should be saving their money for building up some kind of home equity.
Well, the last time we actually checked, interest and property taxes were regarded as the expenses. There is no pride and little sense for you as a very young adult starting out in the work force to have non-affordable expenses so you can deduct a small portion of that expense on your income tax. Wait until it makes some good financial sense for you.
To add a point in this, there are significant transaction costs in buying and selling a home so don’t forget the significant maintenance and repair costs that are needed to properly maintain your home.
However, most young adults need the flexibility and money to move when they are starting their careers.
It will be easy for you to manage the aspects of financial and maintenance headaches that come with managing a home. Understand this, though: we are not advocating that you should never purchase a home.

Paying hefty EMIs can be a very big problem if you have a
shaky career and your money income stops in the middle and in case you are
living on rent you can just shift to a low cost rented space but when you have
to pay your EMI over a bank loan then there is no other choice and you have to
sell your home.
