Living for free/making money of rent in college

Already have a decent idea of different ways I can do this but came here to see if any have done this in the past and how it went? I’m currently a freshman and living in a dorm this year; but was wondering what would possibly be the best ways to live rent free/make money off of rent while in college.. first idea to approach this situation is to try to find a place say 3 or 4 bedrooms to try to rent out for $1000-$1500 depending on what I can find. And then rent each extra bedroom out for $500-$600 a month to other college students. Any experience with this? Any experience with this situation and is it worth it to go through all of the trouble of basically being a landlord for the other roommates(I’d like to be in charge and collect the rent and just rent the whole place in my name because of potential profit/if one person gives a lot of trouble I can say they’ve got to go. Second idea I came up with today is to possibly ask around on Facebook, etc to see if there are any local ranches/farms in the area that will be looking for a ranchhand type position and will offer a rent free room at their home(possibly older couple) in exchange for help and some side work on the farm or ranch. Any other ideas?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
