The rent would easily cover the refinance/lien payment with cash to spare.2.

I have a dozen single family homes all cash flowing nicely, but I'm about to run out of spare cash to buy and need a partner.

Anyone have experience renting a spare bedroom/bathroom in their current house?

Then we were able to have the vision to utilize the house to it's full potential, sleeping 16 adults and using every spare inch of the property!

I don't know of anybody who is doing that intentionally, but many landlords are finding their garages, basements, attics, sheds, backyards and spare rooms being used for growing.  

I am in the same boat and reading about how you still manage to find time to drive around neighborhoods in Oakland during your spare time is very inspirational.

You should consider being a remodel contractor in your spare time.

with your spare time learn about RE.
