Default Re: How do people in debt become homeowners??

Buying a house when I was young has made the biggest difference in my life. I bought my first house at age 21, by age 30, I sold it, made a good profit, and built a bigger house. I was mortage free at age 32 because I concentrated all my efforts into saving money and paying off my mortgage. My house now is worth over a half mil and is paid for.
I would not go over my head buying too much house. By a cheap house, fix it up and make extra payments on the principal as often as you can.
