Want extra income? 3 homes for sale ranging from $450,000 to $750,000 with separate spaces for a renter, Airbnb or relative

Extended family dynamics, childcare needs, or the possibilities of sweet, sweet Airbnb or tenant rental income can all make this an intriguing set-up.

Multi-generational homes are supposed to be the next big thing in real estate, but you wouldn’t know it yet based on the existing housing stock. Plenty of listings out there with rambling layouts or lots of extra space use that most loosey-goosey of realtor terms: Could.

Those empty bonus rooms could be made into a mother-in-law suite. And even if you’re not a fan of your mother-in-law, these extra spaces can now throw off cash with Airbnb or a renter.
