I dont know your situation in terms of finances, jobs, family, etc but I wouldnt know why any 21 yr old would want to buy a house way out in the suburbs and burden themselves with a huge mortgage. Theres a lot more to life than homeownership; youll always be able to buy a house but youll never get a chance to be in your early 20s and be realtively carefree.
We bought our house when I was 21, I had my carefree days start when I got a job, I was 15. I also spent a lot of time buying clothes and going to the bar when I was 18-20. I don't see why anyone would need more than 7 years of being carefree? Maybe that's just me though....
