Why is this so hard? I've tried to do everything right, and I have more than most around me and I'm still struggling. I don't know if I'll be able to find a place to live.

I was in your place after graduating college. Don’t buy the house yet. Move to a temporary place, live there for 6-12 months, you’ll get a better lay of the land. You’ll know which neighborhood is right for you, start scouting houses… In that period you’ll also build your credit score, have more time on the job, save more money for a down payment; all things that count towards a better interest rate. Plus, you’ll also have time to live a little. That’s important. Life goes by fast. Too fast.
