Another strategy is house hacking, for example, buying a duplex and renting out the other half to pay your mortgage, so you're living there basically for free.
This is what my brother did. Lived in 1/2 for 15 years. Now he lives in a half million dollar plus home in an area where the median home price is about $175k.
He rents out both sides now and says it pays for his big house he’s in now.
Me. I grew up in a duplex. So I like my privacy and a nice yard.
But I kinda wish I’d a went his route.
