For example, say a guest rips up one of the cushions on your couch.

It would be hard to count how many pop/hip-hop/dubstep lovers started with a laptop, a mic, and a set of headphones. • Hard work, skill, effort, and sacrifice - We agree!

Buy a 4 bedroom and rent 3...or rent 4 and sleep on the couch.....3bedrooms at $750/month gives you a pretty good break on the mortgage.

These days you can't just throw a mattress and couch on the floor and call it an Airbnb.

I assume having a couch bed would allow the same number of sleeping guests minus the convenience.

I treated it as a house hack and went as far as living on the couch and renting out every room.

I had nothing to do sitting on the couch all day after surgery so I started listening to audiobooks, podcasts, reading some books and watching YouTube videos.

I'd have to buy everything needed (furniture, wifi, tvs, couch, beds, etc.).  

@Sriram Kumar Bikkina  The right way to get a non-conforming mortgage is from a MIC i.e. a mortgage investment corporation. 

Through 4 others tenants the floors have been fine, and you can clearly see where the couch was sitting in the living room because that is one of the only spots where there aren't any scratches.
