Yeah I got lucky my parents were able to rent me and my wife the garage for about 4 years at a discount. Then since my in-laws were renting a house we decided to team up and go half on a house. This way we both got out of renting and we can all pitch in to cover the mortgage, we converted the garage to be our living room/kitchen and put a wall in the hallway so essentially the house is cut in half. Our commutes increased a ton to go to work, but its so much nicer on the weekends being away from a major city
