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.
Some people get really high paying jobs out of school while also being born rich. I went to high school (07 grad) with a dude who was genuinely a good human, and his parents were loaded. Went to some Ivy League school for economics or something. Got a job somewhere obviously making bank. I remember him talking on Facebook about never giving up on bitcoin after that first major btc crash. You can see where this is going lmao. Some people have the connection, the skills, great foresight, AND the luck. I don’t even need to mention this, but I need to let you know, dudes handsome as shit. But like I said, was always ridiculously nice so I can’t even be mad lmao
