For many in my generation, the idea of homeownership is a fantasy. No matter how long and hard we work, the world is simply too expensive for us to scrape together funds to own a home. I'd love to be able to make improvements and changes to my dwelling. I'd love to paint a wall without asking for permission (or losing my security deposit). I would love to watch my property value increase. I'd love to have something that feels a little more permanent.

But maybe the millennial dream can become a reality after all, with a new approach to home ownership coming down the pipe. Sure, you have to sacrifice drywall, plumbing, and electricity (unless you want to pay extra), but you can get your very own set of four walls for what seems like a bargain. And no I'm not talking about #vanlife. Read on to get the details on the new frontier of homeownership.
