Renting properties is always a trap of convenience. You need a place to live, but you can't afford to buy a property, so you rent instead. Then the costs are too high so you can never afford to save up enough money to buy a property. Leaving you stuck in a logic loop of never being able to escape this form of slavery for most renters.

The better alternative is to rough it for awhile and work your ass off. Either by living out of an RV that you can afford to lease, or get for free on craigslist to restore. If you don't mind the wilderness building a non-permanent structure under the size limits out in a safe state, or national park under the guise of "camping" works too.

Then save up enough money to buy a piece of land, put a tiny home on it, or save up longer to build your dream home. Sure this choice is not fucking easy, but it is worth it in the end to escape the cycle of rental slavery.
