You don't say how much would a house cost in the area you want to buy, but it doesn't seem you currently have much buffer for buying. You have around $100k between investments and savings. That will all probably go for the down payment and then you have $0 savings. You also have $30k in debts + a car loan.

What happens if you buy a house and then get laid off from your new job (this can happen in a recession where new hires and/or highly paid employees go first). Will you be able to pay the mortgage and expenses for a year with no income?
