Furnished finder pairs travel nurses with homeowners for 30-60-90 day stays.

My friend does it, and he brings in $1400 a month. He has had nothing but positive experiences. The advantage of the short term stay is, should your situation change, you can stop and start more easily than you can with a long-term lease. [/quote]

NP but seriously?  You're recommending someone bring strangers into their home when they have children?  I don't care what profession.  The stats on the number of children abused in this country are horrifying.[/quote]

You screen the person and don't leave the children home alone with the person. My friend said the nurses were all working insanely long hours and were barely in the house except to sleep, shower and go back to the hospital. [/quote]

It's a safer option than the single mom having a boyfriend around her kids. If you are suggesting "no" to a short-term, screened tenant, than you should also advise her not to date until the kids are grown. [/quote]

Get over yourself.  Clearly there is a difference between screened strangers (unclear what kind of screening you're talking about) living in your house and a person the mom is in a relationship with being around the kids when the mom is present and awake.  [/quote]

I have nothing to get over. Sorry that I struck a nerve. https://www.phillyvoice.com/child-abuse-single-parenting-divorce-marriage-new-partners-advice/

I'm simply pointing out there is a risk to children when there are strangers living in the home so that isn't a path to saving money that I'd recommend.  Renting out your basement that is is completely separate from the rest of your house is a different situation, but the one time I looked at that kind of apartment and the landlord had kids living upstairs they ran a background check on me.  I thought she was smart to do that.  But again, NOT living in the same living space as her kids.[/quote]
