I truly can't imagine four adults, two dogs (one over 100 lbs) and two cats being happier in a hotel room than in their beach house with the brand new 70 inch TV.

In another case they had too many adult occupants.

Currently it's a section 8 tenant in one and 3 adult males splitting rent in the other.

They are adults of sound mind that legally sold their property.

In my entire adult life, I have never experienced a 3 bedroom house that would rent for as low as $1300/month.

These are people who have lived in the homes basically all their adult lives, and as such, have accumulated "stuff" that is difficult to part with.

Two unrelated adults rent the house with two children.

Good for you that you are already scared to be dependent on a employer.Out of college and working at a good day job I had many memories etched into my mind of grown adults being terminated in 2007 and no backup plan.

In my city, you cannot have more than 3 unrelated adults living together.

Past trends regarding older generations have usually seen young adults, primarily in mid-twenties, buy bigger homes which are more focused on family building, since millennials are shifting away from these past trends and wanting to live in smaller homes there has been a high demand for said houses.
