Increase income, decrease DTI, and buy a home (i.e., get a higher paying job, work two jobs, go to trade school, get a higher paying degree, live in affordable area, etc...these are things that most of us did).

In some homes planting the front or placing pots could increase the curb appeal, in others it could be paint or furniture etc.

Rents have increased significantly but so have housing prices.
