I'm a first-year PhD student and I've been thinking of buying a studio apartment on a mortgage for some time.

The city I stay in has a high rent/buy ratio and about 60 months/5 years of rent can equal the apartment value itself.

The monthly mortgage+HOA fees+taxes would be equal to the rent I'll pay for 5 years, but I'll own an apartment at the end of my PhD.

I have saved up some down payment, so that's taken care of.

Is it worthwhile to do this? Are there any hidden risks I'm not accounting for?
