I am about to pay 1800 for rent, how can I buy a house instead!

[doing well, Finally!]

poor credit, dont have a big amount for down payment, but I do make good money, I live in a shit box basement right now and I am going to move out soon, I want to pay cheap rent but its not going to happen in Vancouver, I lucked out with this basement. 2 bedroom plus den in a incredible area for only $575 + 40% utilities, but it is getting to shitty for me there it is a old house and I want to live in a nicer place, is there anythng I can do?

Should I stay in this shitbox to save up a bunch of $$$$$, or should I move out and pay $1300 - 1800 for a nice townhome or house for rent?

  Any advice will be appreicated!!!!

Thanks.

That's my suggestion.

 See above,.

[but whats the point]

what is the point in saving a little bit of dough, if it means living in a shit box with mold and stink. The only thing my place right now has going for it is the size and location. I think I should move out, unless someone can really conince me not to.
