How to afford a decent house as a salaried person?

First you would need to make friends with some property dealer and start sitting in their office in free time Have fun chatting , listen to available houses and plots when they are talking to someone.

So it's like You heard dealer A has a property for sale while someone came to dealer B to buy and he said he doesn't have anything. Then you approach the client privately and tell him you have a property.

You talk to Dealer A that you have a party interested in the property he's dealing with .

If deal is made you take 1% from Buyer while Dealer A takes commission from selling party .

As for Dealer B he would be angry for sure but you can make him happy later by telling him about an available property or bringing a buying party .

Note : I am not a property dealer all knowledge I have is from when I was a Kid I used to go into these offices to pass time as they were my father's friends.
