Start by creating a budget and sticking to it. Track all of your expenses, and identify areas where you can cut back and save money. 2 Set a definite goal and timeline for saving the money you need, and set up automatic deposits or transfers so that you can regularly save without having to think about it. 3 Look for ways to decrease your expenses and increase your income, such as taking on a side job or searching for discounts or coupons for goods and services you need. 4 Consider cutting back on luxury items such as expensive restaurants and vacations to free up more money for the down payment.5 Research any available grants or low-interest loans you can use to fund your down payment. 6 Speak to a financial advisor to make sure you're taking the right steps towards saving the necessary amount and see if they can provide any additional guidance.
