Quote from @Lisa Albright: Hi All,Newbie here, just a quick question we are building an addition on our second home, we have a primary residence, and two rental properties.

It's not quite as easy as renting out two sides of a duplex, but with the right marketing and management you could rent out the extra unit to supplement the mortgage payment.
