A Room of Someone’s Own

Do you find that you are perpetually short on cash? One of the most effective ways to add several hundred dollars to your monthly income is to rent out a room. This is something that I did when I lived in Austin, and had an extra one to rent out. I charged $300, all bills paid. We had a total of three boarders, one of whom turned out to be a dud. The other two were great however, and it was wonderful having that extra money! It was also a good deal on the roomies’ part. I found my renters on Craigslist. Be sure to check references!
