Wait until you have your dream job at a major, and are stable in domicile. Then buy.

At about 2.5 years it becomes better to buy vs. rent for me. It will be in domicile (DFW), and I expect to be at my regional for at least 6 years (I'll leave the upgrade/flow timeline debate for the Envoy thread...). I've rented for the past few years and I'm tired of p!ssing away money with no equity.
When I get my dream job at a major, we'll upgrade to a nicer house
