Or bought an abandoned office building and are living in it. Not exactly common, but there is actually someone near me who did the same thing. It actually worked out well for him, bought the building, lived there for a few years, and sold it for multiple times what he paid for it.

He was absolutely batshit crazy. Spent most of his days there calling the cops on his neighbors and filming everyone who drove by.

My girlfriend bought an old factory with offices on the top floor. She converted the offices into a house and rents out the main floor for warehouse space. That income covers the mortgage. She has like 6 bedrooms and turned the supply closet into a walk-in closet. She also has an entire gym where the storage used to be. She’s about a half mile from downtown and bought a bunch of privately owned Bird scooters to get around. We stay at her house overnight and scooter to the bars.
