Last week brought about some insane news for the real estate industry, Zillow’s iBuying program has temporarily failed. For the last three years, Zillow was designing an online platform that would allow homeowners to receive an offer directly from Zillow to purchase their home. The company designed an algorithm, similar to the Zestimate, that would roughly determine the worth of a home, and then Zillow representatives would offer just below that value, often selling homeowners on the idea of an easy and brainless transaction. So what happened?

Zillow's plan was to purchase the property for less than market value, handle small necessary repairs, and put those properties back on the market as soon as possible.…

We make it through school (accruing debt in the process), hit the job market and quickly realize that the ability to save money to qualify for a mortgage takes a backseat to paying bills and staying afloat. 

 When it comes to owning a home, it has almost become a distant dream for younger generations, due to accrued student loans and a seemingly endless cycle of debt. How is it possible to get ahead, funnel income into a savings account, save for a down payment, and provide for your family all whilst living paycheck to paycheck? 

 “Between 2018 and 2020, the share of Millennials in the United States who expect to always rent their…
