Most people don't have the thought or what it takes to have their own home. 30 years of stable income isn't gaurenteed, so it's a risk, a gamble. *Have at least 30 to 35%, or 40% of your dream homes Listing price...For down payment....Ideally, it's best if you have 50% but low likihood for most people. *Have that amount in the bank for a while.....
