    4 people with 5k each can get almost 20% down on a 350k propery

    Do you think that 20% of $350k is about $20,000? I feel like I’m missing something important here .

      Maybe first-time home buyer programs? But those are like 3% typically so it wouldn’t get you there and that’s before including closing costs, moving costs, and possible repairs.

        Except they explicitly said “nearly 20%”. Which is blatantly false. Terrible at basic math. And this is why people will remain poor
