> Have you personally already purchased your first home? Without family assistance, it would be absolutely brutal and untenable for my children to enter into in this domain at present. I haven't, but I'm not a DINK, and have never broken six figures. The right credit union will make a home loan with no money down, which might help your kids and their spouses. I'm currently paying $3k/month for rent. Zillow says that this could afford a $350,965 home with a 30-year 6.833% fixed rate, including 1.2% taxes at $351/month and $800/year in homeowner's insurance at $67/month, and mortgage insurance at $287/month. Not possible in this area, but possible elsewhere.
