I hope your sister got something good out of it too.

Other then that you need a good job and most likely two full time incomes to pay for a house and then you have to live a frugal lifestyle for over a decade. Once done it is a huge advantage, but it is really tough. Especially if you do not have family, which can give you some money to get started and you have to save while renting. That is honestly the only way young people can buy a house today.

The situation with my sister is unique enough if I explained it properly I'd probably semi-doxx myself to anyone who knows her irl so I won't go into much detail but she rescinded her inheritance on the house voluntarily due to some circumstances that have her inheriting more than me. I Still plan to pay her something regardless just not the ridiculous sum it would be going by the insanely inflated house value
