　　2、出租：你的家──這或許是你最大的一筆資產，也是獲得額外現金的可能來源。越來越多的人正在將一個房間出租或者找來室友同住以獲得額外收入。對于那些住在毗鄰大學、度假勝地或者大城市這些"目標"場所的居民來說這不是件太困難的事情，他們可以將一個房間或者整棟房屋出租幾周、幾個月或者更長的時間。

　　Some homeowners prefer using a real-estate agent, others like finding renters themselves, online or through friends. Either way, it's crucial to vet the potential tenant and spell out expectations. Rents vary from a few hundred dollars to thousands in large cities。
