This is Adult 101 stuff.  

Has this helped in your adult life in continuing a pattern of frugality?

With all due respect to those who say you must have money to start(or at least your own), I think I may be the mythbuster to his scenario that the no money start is a myth.When I first started, it was 5 adults and 3 dogs living in a motel room. 23 years old, No job, no cash, bad credit.

However, there are downsides to include the wear and tear of multiple adults in the property instead of a small family or couple.  

I've worked in the Customer service industry for most of my adult life but I've been interested in real estate for as long as I can remember.  

The female tenant was under 18 years of age when the undercover filming took place.

In my area, if the house is foreclosed on and they want the tenant to vacate, they have to pay $10k per adult on the lease to get them out.  

I'm a guy though so this would not apply for a female.

Hi my husband and I live in a two bedroom apartment for about 5yrs we are renting a room to get a lil help, we have a female and her daughter as a roomate.

Even if adult kids in the basement is a norm, adult kids with families in the basement is still not in my view.As the generation gets employed, forms families, and is able to save the downpayment, I think they will buy in many markets, they are just delayed some in my view by economic and other factors...
