Looking for advice

24m 97k pre tax income with an additional 20-30k take home from overtime.

I currently owe 25k on a vehicle, have 3 months of emergency fund, and ~15k in 401k/investments, so I feel the next step is buying a house. I have found a home near me that’s well below market, especially in my VHCOL. The mortgage would be $1400 and I would be using the VA loan. My family is saying now isn’t a good time to buy, due to my job going through layoffs.

The perk would be I am going to school, getting 3k/month for living expenses from my GI bill. Would I be better off investing that or would I be better to put it towards the house? I would be able to put $5000/ month on the mortgage using it.
