It's not deductible at his income level.

the sep-ira is great - total amount contributed is deductible and growth is tax deferred, downside is you cannot access the money without penalyt until 59 1/2 - there may be an exception or two to that last part, not positive.

Accessible but with penalties.

I think that you would be surprised what type of mortgages you qualify for and i would guess buying a place for you the bottleneck will not be the mortgage, but finding a place that suits you and a time in your life when it makes sense.

Yes a low LTV will open lots of doors. I agree with the time in his life sentiment. I'm frankly a bit puzzled by the 23 year old poker player wanting to lock himself into a particular home and area for the next 5-10+ years.

OP,

I said it in the previous thread and will say it again. Call Vanguard, you qualify for a Voyager account which has all the hand holding and advice you will need. I say this as you do not seem all that interested in learning about investments on your own and have expressed concern about commission based advisors.
