High down payments and higher interest rates are pushing younger homeowners to get creative in order to pay the mortgage. And house hacking is becoming more common as a result.

"Data from Zillow’s Consumer Home Trend Report indicates that more than half of Millennial and Gen Z buyers view the opportunity to rent out their entire home for rental income as “very” or “extremely” important," the survey stated.
The survey found that 39% of homebuyers believe that it is as important to be able to rent out a portion of their home as live in it, an 8% jump compared to 2021.
