Also, any true investor would use leverage...take out a mortgage with a low rate and invest the money you have to produce a higher rate of return.

Plain and simple a home is a liability until it is finally sold. Purchase assets, and limit your financial exposure to liabilities and you will achieve wealth. Take your time plan and your moves wisely. When you have saved enough money for a substantial down-payment on a home get a consultation with Goldman Sachs and then decide what's truly best for you. You may be surprised.
