Not to mention 3 or 4 ppl that can and will reliably make mortgage payments for 15 or more likely 30 years. Once someone drops out because of life then they’ll want to be bought out by the next person which introduced a whole bunch of headaches. Having watched this exact thing play out, this will most likely turn into a bitter nightmare of endless paperwork and some ruined relationships.

Also, it would require every friend to have savings to put down a down payment and also credit good enough to actually qualify. That’s on top of finding 3 or 4 friends you’re willing to live with.

4 people with 5k each can get almost 20% down on a 350k propery. Thats pretty decent except in the most expensive cities

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.

350,000 x 0.20= 70,000 70,000 / 4 = 17,500 17,500 - 5000 = 12,500
Each person would need 17,500 for a 20% down payment, 12,500 more than the 5000 quote.
