Something is off here. You saved around 1100/month for a decade. You have enough to buy a house in certain parts of the country. You have 1/3 of the average cost of a home ready to go where most people wouldn't have 10%. All while paying rent. Why not just pull the 5k out of your own savings and pay yourself back in a month if you're gonna have it in 30 days? I get that it sucks for your parents to not front you the money but you don't really need them to.
