 We just had to buy a home. He bought the rent house he was living in. That was the only way he got to it. Because he was living there, it would have created a hassle for the owner to sell it out from under him. He would have had to sell it to somebody who was willing to pick it up as a rental property, which would have probably lowered his value. He sold it to our son, and so he got first dibs at something. Otherwise, entry-level people just don't have a chance. Our daughter, on the other hand, came into existence with her significant other.
