Have a six figure 9-5 but exhausted of corporate affordable housing world bs.

You could go the house hacking route with buying MFU, etc.It MIGHT be interesting if you are a traveling nurse to turn your house hack into a short term or mid term rental while you are gone.

Quote from @Pearse Cafiero: You want to borrow money to buy a house, but you don't have the downpayment.

I interact with first time house hackers / seasoned investors on a daily basis.

I bought my own house on a lease option.

For most people a house hack is a great start. 

1 is mainly on the population.  2 is on the existing units.  

There is an affordable housing crisis here in America.

When I asked why I was paying for a service fee during a period where I never turned on service, the customer service person explained that even if I didn't have service turned on, and there was no usage, there is a monthly fee for the line that runs from the street to my house so that when I reconnect, they don't have to rip up the ground and put in a new line.To me this sounded ridiculous and the power and gas companies are not charging any such fees. 

One of the units is currently rented, so it would probably be great for a house hack.
