If you live in a place where you can't afford to buy how about this for a plan. I'd do something like this.
Do some research into which areas in the country have the fastest growing house prices but aren't the most expensive areas. Usually on the edge of expensive areas. Also places that yield high rental incomes. I know that a while back Lincoln was such a place. Look for a place where it's still possible to buy a small property/ flat for around 100k. If you can't raise a deposit maybe go in with a relative who can provide that for a stake in the flat, or even as a loan whereby you pay them back at slightly over what they would get by putting it in the bank ( and you'd get it way cheaper than a bank loan) . Put tenants In the flat immediately and their rental will pay the mortgage with maybe a bit over. Sit on this property and let it go up in value , maybe 5 to 10 years, depends on the house market. When it's made enough money for a deposit in a place where you want a house, move into the flat yourself for a while making it your primary residence( thus avoiding Capitol gains) , then sell it. You can now use that money as a deposit and what you were paying in rental will now pay the mortgage your own house.
