vacation home

my high school friend who works as a nurse in the US has recently bought a property. she didn't just buy a house, she bought a vacation home Orlando property. she has been working for 3 years now, all hard work! she has finally seen the fruits of her labor. she said that it's not really a good time to buy a property in the states but she still decided on buying one since she was given a really good deal. i wonder on when i could buy my own house?
