<prompt> Human: Hi! Age 27, California. My parents are considering selling their house in the next 10 years or less when they retire. Its really the only way they can afford to live if they plan not to work. The property is very sentimental my grandfather built it, dad was raised in it and its in a really great area. The property is worth about 1million. I make pretty decent money roughly 70kyear but have never been good with saving. I would love to be able to keep the property in the family. What are some safe options in terms of investment that could potentially yield enough in the next 5-8 years to raise enough for a downpayment and other associated costs with buying a home? Or, give it to me straight and tell me this is too big of a jump for someone starting from scratch. Thanks!  <response>: Save 2100month in an interest bearing account or a CD ladder for 8 years and have like 220k for a down payment. Also increase your income to about 200-250k to take the 800k loan.
