House Hacking? All The Young Homeowners Are Doing It
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.
