Renting vs Buying

As a junior banker making ~200k, is it possible to buy a condo/ apartment near work in NYC? I hear a lot about renting with a roommate. I would rather put my money into an appreciating asset that I could maybe transition into a cash flowing rental once I move up the ranks. How common is buying a house rather than renting in NYC? And is it possible to get approved for a loan?

Velit aut quis earum perferendis tempora incidunt voluptatem. Id veniam voluptatem earum repellendus fugit iure eum ut. Et est vel nihil ea.

Asperiores a unde repudiandae fugit pariatur in modi. Doloremque ullam adipisci voluptas cupiditate porro dolores. Tenetur consequatur quo culpa qui ea. Vero qui quia sed sed.

Eum et et ad iure eligendi sed. Aut aliquam ex quidem qui blanditiis est. Laborum expedita debitis rerum nulla tempora sunt. Qui nesciunt alias tenetur voluptatem veniam temporibus.

Tempore et cupiditate perspiciatis quos quo consequatur nihil. Beatae quam consectetur voluptatem vel illum maiores.

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
