According to a 2015 Urban Institute report, delayed marriage and student loan debt are the biggest factors holding millennials back from buying homes. But though the path to homeownership is rocky, many millennials still want that "American Dream." In fact, according to the Census Bureau, nearly 37 percent of them already own homes.
If you feel like owning your apartment or a home seems out of reach, you might want to hear the stories of your fellow cohorts who have become homeowners. We've heard from Ashley Coleman, who shared her experiences with borrowing from her 401K and getting an FHA loan, and Billy Lyons, who kept his costs low while saving up for a downpayment by first living at home and then renting affordably. Today, Lauren DiTullio, 27, shares her experience. (Just a caveat, these are first person stories—not necessarily financial advice, so talk to a professional to see what works for you!)
