@Dan Dares TMYou can use your familyMember but they will need to be a part of the deal and the bank will most likely want them to personally guarantee the loan.

You may even consider doing some budgeting and see if a smaller house or even (dare I say it?)

This idea of FIRE in your 20s (dare I say 30s and even 40s) makes zero sense - the idea is propagated by what we see on social media (Some 26 year old walking by his G-Wagon and sipping martinis on the beach 300 days out of the year talking about his billions in RE).

Then come to find out his wife's father is incredibly rich (how dare we think any money came from the wife's family).
