If you’re having difficulty coming up with a down payment, consider purchasing with a friend or sibling! It's an incredible way to pool your funds and work together for that down payment. Enjoy each other's company and share the bills for a few years to maximize market appreciation! Then simply split all the financial success and gains, take all that accumulated appreciation and money you’ve already paid down to then have the purchasing power to buy your next home by yourself!

If you can afford to buy but are afraid of being “house-poor” there’s a simple solution! Rent an extra bedroom or the basement to someone you know that can’t yet afford to buy! It helps you to ease the stress of bills as your property is paid down and appreciates with the added bonus of helping someone else that needs an affordable place to stay!
