So, as good an investment a house looks like on paper, here
in the real world it cannot work for many people because the
entry price is just too high.

Well to buy a house you do need to save up enough of
a down-payment that will enable you to finance the rest
from your income. Maybe that means living with your parents
for 10 more years before out moving into your own. Or maybe
it means sharing a place with roommates while you build up
some cash or getting additional training to get a better job.

As always, you will find that people with more cash and more
income have more options.
