This may seem obvious, but working together with extended family is another way you can afford a home. Here in Hawaii, it’s often the norm to have multiple generations living under one roof.

By living below your needs, you can then pull any equity out to purchase another home. The end goal would be to save up so that eventually each family can own their own home.
