Shit, for me to save 20% on a 500K property - so 100K. How many people can say they can comfortably set aside $1K / month in the DC area for savings (exclusive to your retirement savings)? It can be done, but it's pretty tough. That being said, it would take 8 years to do so...

Yes! We saved money by living in my parents' basement but we were making $66k combined then and rent payments were the same as our mortgage. Looking back, had rent not been as expensive as a mortgage we wouldn't have bought.
