The renters were friends of her family that's why when she let them move in, there was only a verbal agreement that they'd be renting the place for this amount for this number of months. But during that time when she wanted them to go, they refused to leave. What's worse is that they didn't take care of the place that well.<br /><br />So make sure you prepare a written contract that you/they can like renew every year.<br /><br />Good luck!Bryanhttp://www.insuranceleadservices.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-67010476381036527292012-05-24T11:05:21.504-04:002012-05-24T11:05:21.504-04:00We have rented out our third bedroom in our house ...We have rented out our third bedroom in our house for 2 1/2 years of the 5 that we've lived here (Houston, TX). In fact, we have a couple of friends living with us now. I think it's awesome. We are having our dream home built right now and our friends are moving right along with us in a few months when it is ready, and we'll be renting out our current home too. Overall, we'll be bringing in $1800 and paying out $1600 in mortgages. We'll just be paying property taxes and utilities of our new home too. Not bad overall. :-)Crystal @ Prairie Ecothrifterhttp://prairieecothrifter.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-3975098439272064752012-05-24T04:57:32.313-04:002012-05-24T04:57:32.313-04:00Thank you very much for keeping open and honest di...Thank you very much for keeping open and honest discussion. <br /><br />I think $2,000 is worth a lot and will contribute additional $14,000 towards your annual goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-15348410297758061022012-05-21T13:37:29.643-04:002012-05-21T13:37:29.643-04:00I am glad I read this interesting post.

Friends in L.A. have had good experiences apartment-swapping with people in Europe to save on hotels abroad and in short-term sublets through airbnb.

Since I don't know how permanent this move will be, I've been trying to figure out what to do with my current residence. The biggest issue I'm dealing with is whether to rent my home with a traditional one year lease, in which case I would clear out all my possessions, buy new carpet and touch up the paint, or whether I find short term renters and do something less drastic with the house. I like the idea of using airbnb but worry my tastes are too frugal to appeal to most people.<br /><br />Keep us posted on how this first experience works out for you.My Frugal Miserhttp://www.myfrugalmiser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1526526894678334142012-05-15T22:13:52.541-04:002012-05-15T22:13:52.541-04:00There is a house in floreclosure near me that I ha...There is a house in floreclosure near me that I have thoguht about buying, fixing, and renting.
