Home Ownership by Age 25? It\u2019s Possible<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite being saddled with student debt and dealing with the repercussions of the 2008 financial crash, it’s still possible to become a home owner by age 25.<\/p>\n

In order to accomplish the goal of owning a home, 26-year-old Emily Brown decided early on that she wanted to manage her finances carefully and live on her own terms. \u201cI wanted a game plan, not living paycheck to paycheck,\u201d she recently told CNN Money.<\/p>\n

Brown’s advice to other young people wanting to buy property is simple: “Work hard, save a lot, and buy property you can afford.”<\/p>\n

In addition to having purchased a home at age 25, Brown has paid off a large portion of her student loans and has begun depositing money into both 401(k) and IRA accounts.<\/p>\n

While only about 20 percent of Americans own homes by age 25, Brown beat the odds by purchasing a \u201cfixer upper\u201d duplex in the suburbs and extended the lease to a prior tenant who pays $900 a month, enough to cover her mortgage.<\/p>\n

After attending college during the 2008 financial meltdown, Brown was determined to hold herself to a rigorous standard, which allowed her to begin saving early. She drives a 2009 Ford Escape SUV with a dent in the side, firmly regiments the money she spends on recreation, and makes deposits into her IRA account religiously.<\/p>\n

Brown opened her IRA account when she was only 18-years-old and worked at a local ice cream shop. Throughout college, she worked multiple jobs and paid internships, the monetary yields of which she funneled into her IRA.<\/p>\n

Since graduating in 2012, Brown has worked as an accountant full-time. She contributes 6% of her $50,000 a year salary to the account, and her company matches it.<\/p>\n

Even seasoned professionals are impressed by Brown\u2019s frugality and discipline.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s my idol,\u201d said Yvette Butler, president of Capital One Investing. \u201cI wish more of us started saving for retirement at 18.\u201d<\/p>\n
