I was in a similar position a few years ago, but fortunately got married and our combined incomes helped us qualify for a larger house hack.We're on our second one in NOVA, Alexandria to be exact, and instead of rent by the room, we are renting out our walkout basement on Airbnb to monthly guests.That said, we have a number of friends doing well with rent by the room across NOVA, though they're purchasing homes with 5+ rooms or finding homes that can be renovated to include that setup.I'd recommend attending meetups such as the one I cohost, NOVA REI or Cashflow Breakfast Club or any of the others to meet those who are house hacking.

That hard work includes making the investments that the current owner hasn't made (nicer kitchens, new flooring, fresh coat of paint, etc.), removing tenants and marketing to new tenants.

Cards and board games for older kids but they will all have tablets or phones unfortunately.
