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?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
