Dylan, firstly well done on having a go while you're still young. If you make a bad call now you have plenty of time to make up for it. With the cost of buying and selling have you considered renting it while you live with your family and pump as much into as you can until it's positive geared then just let it pay itself while you move on with your other plans? My mates brother bought a house at 21 and stayed at home till he was 30. He had it paid off and renovated before he spent a single nite in it. It's a great option if you have that luxury and can put up with your family for that long!
