Renting out part of your home

house hacking to get started in real estate investing: you buy a house and rent out bedrooms in that house so others pay down your mortgage and you live free, building equity and with a property that potentially appreciates in valuebought a house with basement unit but we now use it for family when they come to visit after bad experiences: weed delivered to the home, tenant complained they got a parking ticket and tenant couldn't get incan turn into a nightmare in a pro tenant environment if you have to live and share part of your space with tenants who are not paying or loud. I remember my parents used to rent a room to a student and we would cook for her.
