If you're a young person who is hell-bent on owning a home, you should consider military service. The VA Loan is the easiest way into a mortgage with no money down, with location-specific terms to help you land a place to live in your hometown. Myself and my veteran friends (or their spouses) are the only people I "went to HS with" who are home owners today (now in our late 30's early 40's). You can wish in one hand, or you can actually do something to help yourself achieve your dreams. Just don't do anything stupid, like get shot.
