Yeah it all makes sense now. Although I'll just be throwing money away by renting, it's my only practical option.

Would a larger down payment be better? I might be able to find a home around 150k several towns over. Thank you.

I can comfortably put down 25-30k

Why not? What would be a price to look for?

I have about 30k in the bank right now. I know renting is easier but around here the cheapest place to rent is about 2,400 a month with association fees. Working on cars usually isn't allowed for apartment or townhouses.
