Many parents are buying homes for their kids as they head to college. Imagine your child living with roommates, each paying rent that covers the mortgage. It's a fantastic way for parents to build generational wealth while helping their children get a head start.

Thinking about buying your first home? With programs like FHA and down payment assistance, you could get in for just $1,000 down. That's often less than a rental deposit plus first month's rent. Rents have surged, making it more affordable to buy than rent in many areas. Don't let the 20% down myth stop you. Focus on what you can afford monthly – it might surprise you!
