I rent homes unfinished for the most part but sometimes, if a space would look better with something extra, like a coffee bar or a patio table, I will pick one up.

Cities usually don't care if the OWNER lives in the basement, just tenants.You could use the extra income to offset cost of finishing basement and more.

Keep pushing through, as appraisers sometimes need extra help to understand the full value of a well-done renovation.

I have a W2, so the extra rental income would be reinvetsed into the property.

Preapproved ADU plans offer extra space or rental potential.

One was making an extra $600/month while covering all of his household expenses with just 3 PadMates. 

The extra cabinets I needed in order to complete the design ended up costing $2,000.

I had another person try to bargain me down to $1700/month, and said she was moving out of her dad's house and so needed room to store boxes in the extra bedrooms. 

What I will do is attempt to find a QUALIFIED substitute tenant, credit the original tenant with the rent paid by the new tenant LESS one or two months fee for the extra work and effort, but I will NOT release the original tenant from liability should the substitute tenant default.Look, the bottom line is that renting to tenants is a business, just like any other business.  

Hi everyone, a couple of years ago I bought my house and around a year ago I decided to make some extra income and rent a room through airbnb.
