"Our landlord texted both [us and our neighbor, who also has an EV] that he's upping utilities for car charging," they wrote on Reddit.

It’s a tough time to be a homebuyer. In an environment of historically high interest rates and stubborn listing prices, the dream of homeownership is as elusive as ever. But it’s even harder to buy a home when you believe (incorrectly) that you absolutely must have 20% saved up for a down payment.

What is down payment assistance and how do you get it?

You generally need to demonstrate sufficient income to buy a house, but it is possible to buy a home with no income. You’ll need to prove to a lender that you can afford the mortgage payments in other ways, such as by paying with assets, or you’ll need to buy the house with all cash. Learn more about how to buy a house with no income.
