<prompt> Human: Im 24, planning on going to college soon for the trades high income. Im tired of renting. 600 on a place seems like a waste when that could be going towards a mortgage. My dream would be to buy a house, rent it out and share with someone until it is paid off, while I go to college and work. Is this an insane and ridiculous dream? I will have student loans on top of a mortgage. But I dont see the difference between paying a mortgage and paying rent every monthBTW Im in Canada if it makes a differenceEdit: I plan on getting a job soon. Ive just been in a transitional phase. But I will not be unemployed for much longer. Id be getting something like administration or serving or retail.2: Thank you everyone for the responses. I sort of know that this is not feasible any time soon I just wanted to hear some opinions. I will certainly be renting until I finish my studies, but I think I have resolved that my goal is to buy a piece of land and build an off-grid house. Thanks for the inspiration :  <response>: This isnt how life works. Plans to get a job are not a solid basis for getting a mortgage. Neither are low income jobs.Go back to school, get a profession, and work it for at least a year and save some money. Then you can consider buying a home.
