Appreciate the feedback, checked out your post and yeah I've had similar with roommates in the past.

I was forced to buy my first house because my roommate moved out and I couldn't afford to live alone.

You'll probably need a co-borrower and someone to gift the down payment.There's a Conventional loan (FNMA family opportunity loan) that allows your parents to purchase a home for you (and potentially roommates) to rent while you're still in college.

Roommates.

I would think transient room mates on renewable short leases would be much safer than bearing the brunt of San Francisco's LTR tenant laws.

I would rent out an extra room, basement and yep, deal with a part time roommate.

If they have a taste for it then use the equity to buy a rental where they go to College and have them manage it with roommates in it.   

You could always take on a roommate(s),

Only one roommate.  

And to a lesser extent gig work, house hacking, roommates.
