My parents took half of everything I earned working from the time I was 14 until I was 18. At 18 they charged me $500.00 a month in rent (which I upped to what ever I could put away) and when I wanted to buy my condo they gave the money back to me for my down payment. My dad co-signed my mortgage (he did that same for my step-sister as well as my brother and now my sister as well. He has been removed from all properties now) but later I got my buddy to buy into my condo with me.
They didn't give me any other loan money for any down payment just what I had saved up over the years of them garnishing my wages and charging me rent. I bought my condo at 19 and moved out at 21
