When I was young I had plenty of room mates. The term house hack didn't exist back then. None of us made much money and it's just how we could all afford rent. At 42 I bought a duplex to help pay the mortgage (house hack still wasn't a term then). I am 56 now and still live in the same duplex. My tenants pay the mortgage and I live for free. I was able to buy a second house that I am doing a short term rental in. It is doing well and have plans for an ADU this year for a second STR.
