It's a great time to buy especially because interest rates are so low. Also remeber interest and property taxes are both tax deductible. Personally I would get her to wait until she can put 20% down, interest rates aren't going up anytime soon
I'm a little skeptical about the math of ~7% depreciation a year, maybe in the short term but you don't buy a house for the short term.
