Yeah; I like Agate's suggestions because they aren't relying on someone who might be trying to scam you. It's setting up your own business, like I want to do with my playschool.

And if you own a house, you could try renting out rooms or even taking in boarders (if you are up to the extra meal preparation). That is considered a home-based business by the IRS.
And it is. You do have to advertise and sort through the applicants, check their references, arrange for their move-ins and move-outs, deposits, phone use, etc., etc.
You have to draw up a rental agreement, possibly get a lawyer on tap--maybe make some adjustments in your house, like extra phone jacks or different doors.
Any expenses incurred in connection with renting rooms are deductible expenses.
