3 Unconventional Ways, to Become a Homeowner.
Amid rising housing costs,
'Newsweek' has offered readers some
alternative routes to homeownership.
Over the past few years,

prices rise to record levels. .
Over the past few years,
the real estate market has seen
prices rise to record levels. .
According to Scott Durkin,
CEO of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, , "prices are going up, mortgage rates
are going up, but inventory is down.".
Here's what 'Newsweek' recommends for anyone lacking the income or down payment to find a home. .
Renting to Own, This option gives potential buyers
the ability to rent a property for a set period
of time before having the chance to buy it. .
It can help you get a good credit score,
and it can help a mortgage company give you
a loan for the rest of the cost of the home, Scott Durkin, CEO of Douglas
Elliman Real Estate, via 'Newsweek'.

and it can help a mortgage company give you
a loan for the rest of the cost of the home, Scott Durkin, CEO of Douglas
Elliman Real Estate, via 'Newsweek'.
Seller Financing, For this option, the home's seller
acts as a bank, lending the
purchase money to the buyer.
This can be helpful if the potential
homebuyer is not eligible
for a conventional mortgage.
Co-ownership, Shared ownership is when two or more people purchase
a property together. It usually works well for
unmarried couples, siblings and close friends. .
The process may seem like a lot,
but ultimately homeownership is
the best thing you can do for your
long-term financial success, Nicholas Athanail, real estate broker
in New York City, via 'Newsweek'.

Google Fires Employees , for Protesting Israel Contract.
28 Google workers have been fired for protesting
a $1.2 billion contract that the company has with
the Israeli government and military to provide
cloud and AI services, NBC News reports. .
The firings follow an April 16 sit-in at
Google's offices in California, New York and Seattle in which nine workers were arrested.
The group that coordinated the demonstration
is known as No Tech for Apartheid. .
Google issued a statement about the recent firings.
A small number of employee
protesters entered and disrupted
a few of our locations. , Google spokesperson, via statement.
Physically impeding other employees’
work and preventing them from
accessing our facilities is a clear
violation of our policies, and
completely unacceptable behavior. , Google spokesperson, via statement.
We have so far concluded
individual investigations that
resulted in the termination of
employment for 28 employees,
and will continue to investigate
and take action as needed, Google spokesperson, via statement.
No Tech for Apartheid claims that the
workers were fired "indiscriminately.".
This excuse to avoid confronting
us and our concerns directly,
and attempt to justify its illegal,
retaliatory firings, is a lie, No Tech for Apartheid, via statement.
Meanwhile, many of Google's workers have
reportedly quit after experiencing "mental health consequences of working at a company that is using their labor to enable a genocide," No Tech for Apartheid said.
On a personal level, I am opposed
to Google taking any military
contracts — no matter which
government they’re with or what
exactly the contract is about. , Cheyne Anderson, a Google Cloud software engineer based
in Washington who was arrested during a sit-in, to CNBC

The administration is tone deaf.

its student loan shenanigans. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
