My GF and I closed yesterday on a house. $126,000, 20% down, 15 year fixed at 3.25%. The payment, including taxes/insurance, will be slightly less than our current rent, and about $435 of that will be going to principal to start.
The FIRE community has definitely been a big help. Credit card hacking got me a great credit score, and using a Roth IRA as a quasi-emergency fund (albeit one with a 100% stock allocation) meant I was able to withdraw some of the contributions for the down payment, so I don't have PMI.
