As a 24 year old man who finally has a job that will allow him to move out of his parent's house...what are the pros/cons of getting an apartment or buying a house?
Obviously, I'll have to live with my parents a while longer if I choose the buying a house route...and if so, should I save up until I can buy a house for its full price rather than paying it off as a monthly fee?
Renting comes with a lot of bullshit but you can move around. Buying a house is forever.
The house option fully paid is obviously a good financial move but it would take some time living with your parents and working to be able to pull that off.

Apartment means you pay a little more a month fpor rent. In theory you don't have to worry about shit breaking like furnace because landlord will fix. In practice, this varies from landlord to landlord. Use internet to research place and person.
Owning a home means a slightly reduced month to month cost typically for comparable living space. You must maintain your home and invest in it. Things will break eventually. Develop home improvement skills or prepare to shell out tons of cash.

Crawl before you walk. Rent for a while to get used to being on your own, while learning more about the benefits and hassles of owning.
Rent first. You need experience with real estate and 20% of the purchase price before you can buy.
you can also rent a house
it also depends entirely on your situation
purchasing a house is something I would see as beneficial if you have no other choice: you're staying in the area longer than 5 years (a lot longer preferably), you got your retarded girlfriend pregnant and she won't abort, you've got a lot of cash saved up
I would personally continue living with your parents
I move back in with my parents after college and will not leave until they kick me out

so you want to spend all of your income on living separately so you can have sex
that's your goal in life
