Like someone else mentioned, doing a short term rental in a secluded basement that is very private and walled off is one thing, but sharing the same refrigerator, kitchen thermostat, etc. with a complete stranger seems like it will introduce more problems than what the money is actually worth.

When we removed some of the wall we found that there was damage to the wood.

The worst thing here is people who he recently took money from - yes some people are still being conned out of their money - lost it all to the court.I can see him working on 4 houses at the moment, and each ia having work performed out of sequence with 3 of the 4 still having no front entrance door installed, but they have still finished the internal walls and laid the flooring.  

You will also need wall hangings and art, not to mention kitchen stuff like silverware, pots and pans,

You could take your pay in cash even and let the surplus build up in a wall safe or something.

Everyone who steps inside is wowed by the space and in awe of the 2-story wall of windows surrounding a 140+ foot redwood tree.

I've seen a few folks make that kind of jump, and it's not as off-the-wall as some might think.

From what I’ve read in the Wall Street Journal, locking in a low interest rate now could be a smart move given today’s economic trends.

It could even be impossible....Some inspectors will insist that walls be opened to view wiring/framing/plumbing/etc, floors be jackhammered up to show vapor barrier and rebar spacing.Ask me how I know........
