Moving to an affordable area or buying a renting property and using rent to finance the mortgage are two good solutions for Millenials with low equity, but everyone has their circumstances and there is absolutely no doubt that if your parents haven't left you a property, you are fighting a huge uphill battle, on top of student debts and immigrants competing at the entry-level market as the other poster pointed out.
I live in an affordable area, invest and save with no debt. Pre-qualified for 260. Any houses listed at that price sell for at least 70k over asking. Anything below usually needs so much work it is un-tenable.
I'd love to afford a duplex to rent while living in half but even semi-detached units are 270k here already. I'm not giving up but unless some variable changes I've been priced out of the market in a little over a year.
