I know a single person who makes less than that 50K a year just bought her own place with no help from anyone other than a 30K downpayment she saved up. Like I said you just have to know where to look and don't expect the moon. Asking price of the pad? Below $180K, no bidding wars, the place was sitting for at least a month before she bought it. Smack in the middle of downtown Calgary (i.e. not a trailer). Moral of the story? Don't believe everything they write in the paper.
