Houses can be real money pits. We have had repairs like plumbing replacements and foundation issue that were over $10K each.
I would agree with the others on not buying a house with a loan at this time. Do you have an emergency fund? Do you have health insurance, and if so what are the deductible and out of pocket maximums? Do you have a car and how old is it? Two thousand can go pretty fast if you lose your job, have a big car repair bill or have really any kind of non-routine medical or dental bills.
