If it’s your house, move in with them and be a horrible roommate.  

Stayed here for 8 years and sold it to my roommate who wanted to start a family and I wanted to move to the West Coast so it worked out quite nicely.

Especially with your son being able to find roommates or good tenants. 

It might be easier to look for a roommate situation in an already existing roommate household. 

Get a couple roommates and flip a house over the course of a year or two.

I said I wanted to speak to tenant B first but I am open to the idea of finding a suitable replacement roommates to assume the leases, as long as the roommates meet my original screening criteria.I spoke to tenant B and made the same offer, and tenant B was open to it. 

I had my college roommate do the plans who’s now a licensed architect so I’m fairly confident the permit process won’t be as bad as I’ve experienced before.

I am thinking I should buy a home that needs a little elbow grease, house hack via 1-2 roommates and save capital and possibly renovate the home some with a strict budget (update appliances, bathrooms, new paint, etc).
