Consider buying a multiple family dwelling. You can use the rent to pay part of your mortgage, taxes, and other expenses. I know a couple who did that and made out quite nicely. Also, buy in the best neighborhood you can afford even if the home is small and needs work. It's all about location. Good luck.
