Creative way we “house hacked”

We wanted to house hack in order to pay some of our mortgage. First we tried doing Airbnb with an extra room but eventually it got awkward with strangers in the house. Then we did a roommate (my brother in law) but conflict arose. So we decided to list space we had in the back yard for storage. I listed on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. My phone blew up with people wanting affordable boat and trailer storage. So I booked one boat and one travel trailer. Then a lady contacted me about allowing her to utilize space with her trailer. She has a green waste toilet and just needed hookups for water and electric. That was easy! So now we have a leased space that cash flows!
