    Zero down may be the only way a family can afford to buy a home. In a time where older starter homes are north of 300k, we’re asking families to save 60k cash to get to 20% down. That’s about the median household income.

    If you’re able to save 10% of your paycheck (after taxes), you’re going to spend about 10 years saving for today’s price. Which will likely be much lower than next years price.
