  Obama (or Illinois?) gave me 10k down payment in 2009 and I got a tiny townhome at 23 right after I got a job outta college. I stayed in it for 10 years and traded it in for a bigger house like a crab after I got married.

  I was not money conscious at the time but my dad pretty much forced me to get a house if I had the means. I’m glad he did.

  So I guess I was also gifted my down payment from my parents and other tax payers parents.
