If Actual Rent Prices Were Motivational Posters

Paying rent sucks, especially when you live in such a tough housing market. But did you know it's actually possible to buy a house here before you hit 30? At the end of this post check out how a newer, better lender is making it possible, but first, scroll through some motivational posters of a different kind. If this doesn't make you want to buy, we're not sure what will.

We don't bank, watch TV or order food like our parents, so why buy a house like they did? SoFi is a lender taking that concept to heart with its awesomely fast and approachable mortgage process. That's not an oxymoron.

■ Buy your dream home sooner with as little as 10% down with no PMI instead of the standard 20%. That's way less saving when you're already paying for rent, student loans, transit and who knows what else.

■ With SoFi’s flexible debt-to-income limits, you may qualify for more financing than what other lenders can offer. That means you can already have student (or other) debt and may still qualify for a mortgage on your dream place.

■ Skip tons of headache with a modern, streamlined application process and see what SoFi can offer you in minutes.

■ Compete against all-cash offers. SoFi loans are underwritten at the pre-approval stage so you can choose to submit offers without financing contingencies.

Sound good? See what SoFi can offer you in 2 minutes at SoFi.com.
