This! I strongly advise anyone stuck thinking they can't do a thing till they hit 20% to talk to a professional, there are options, especially if you have a reasonable tech income and good credit scores.

Granted, this advice was a lot easier to consume when interest rates were at record lows...

If all you care about is the monthly payment then sure but got damn it adds up now that money isn't free anymore. Even with the the projected rent increases it's significantly cheaper over my lifetime to just rent until I can basically buy a house in cash.
