Real estate has been by far my most profitable investment. Intrest are ridiculously low. So, buy the house now, rent out rooms to friends, take advantage of any tax benefits, and let appreciation work its magic on your net worth.

Better to buy a home when the rates are low, then you can rent it and earn money. Walk in second path.

Take the 6% match and buy your house sooner.

Marry a woman that already owns a house. {or see my other advice - which owl and ag agree with).

neither is a good choice - early withdrawals from a 401k will incur penalties and taxes
