Unless you've got $50,000+ of equity in a home you already own to put down 20% on a house (they are all going for $250,000+ now) you are going to have a very hard finding a place to live. Medical assistants are paid pretty poorly here (as are most healthcare professionals)...I'm an RN and I would legitimately not be able to buy a house from square one (zero existing equity) even on year ten pay.

We do own our home here but this helps me greatly. I really appreciate you for the honesty.

There are some pretty awesome sign-in bonuses at UVMMC and you might qualify for a $7500 credit from the state.
