Can you live at home with your parents while you get the degree?

This means it doesn't really matter who is paying the mortgage, it matters what taxpayer is named in the mortgage and what taxpayer is on the title.I have seen scenarios in which parents "give" a rental to a child. 

Unless you’re parents or someone else’s is backing you financially you will need 2 year a tax returns to qualify for a loan.

You have to account for inflation (deflated value of the dollar) My point is that it is harder for people to get *started* investing now than it was for their parents.

@Montai Edwards I have a property that I inherited from my parents in my hometown.

They had stepped in and helped these lower income single parent households to create a community among themselves, getting involved in school activities for the kids, stepping in to watch each others children when necessary, and a lot of other things.Then there is "the missing middle" issue in single family housing which is that builders can't/won't build houses that are what are now considered starter homes.

I grew up in a family where my parents lived beyond their means.

He is 24 living with parents and is working as a pizza delivery job.

While this is enough to get into real estate I will still need to co sign with my parents because I do not have two year self employment history.

My parents have both been small business owners the majority of my life, so the concept of a rental property wasn’t foreign as they had a few of them themselves.
