We have been entertaining going this route, but not primarily for this purpose.  

All my adult life I was always a machinist / tool and die maker working in tool shops for 55 +hours a week to build somebody else’s business .

Here's the lengthy but entertaining email thread.  

I got my fees back as well as my adult children 3. 

Based on my experience you should have all adults over 18 complete an application and all be parties to the lease where they are jointly and severally responsible for payment.

I'm from Maryland and have been down this path before and can tell you from experience that you will need a significant amount of cash and time to entertain this kind of project. 

I'm about to list one of my homes in a month, and I'm entertaining a few off-market offers before I do.

Trying to determine what the reasonable expectation would be  immediately TIME IS MONEY, PLEASE connect with someone doing deals, BEFORE you even entertain buying a property.

To maximize your returns, occupy the least valuable spot in the house (this is a lot easier to do as a young adult than when you get older). 4) Every 12 months, buy another property and house hack again (renting out the prior property).

Hope this helps...hope even more that the tenant keeps the toilet seat down so the kid doesn't continue using it for "entertainment."
