My reading of this is that his telling you that buying rather than throwing away money on rent is the TRUTH. Obviously you don't have money for a down payment but a couple of years of rent free living could definitely put you in a place you could if you are very responsible with the money you get during that time. Sounds to me like he is planting thinking seeds in your mind for your future well being.
I personally BELIEVE that any business agreement between 2 people needs to have a written contract just in case anything legal comes up even for his benefit of defining the condition the house must be left in when you do move out.
I know I have had these conversations with people about buying rather than renting & I do have an initial rent free offer if my daughter ever needs it. She is renting & I understand exactly why she is & for her it is the right thing to do. I fully own my farm & it is a money pit & between vet bills & home repairs it leaves no money for anything else. Priorities are the determing factor in home ownership & something you should definitely consider rather than buy just because your friend tells you to
