Start saving. If you can't save much per month right now, find a higher paying job or take on a 2nd job.

You don't need much money for a down payment if you buy a duplex/triplex/fourplex to house hack. Talk to your loan officer about FHA. Should be able to get financing with only 3.5% down (plus closing costs)

Yep. Start saving. Start a creative new business sideline for the weekends, like making pallet furniture, or doing personal training. Bartenders get good tips....
