DEAR AMY: “WelcomeMat/DoorMat” described having friends with a great “side hustle” of renting out their place on Airbnb.com. The problem was that the friend then crashed at DoorMat’s house. My wife and I did exactly what you suggested when we had a friend who rented out his condo and then kept crashing with us. We started charging him a cut of his take. We treat this like a business arrangement and it has worked out well for all of us.
Side-by-side Hustle
DEAR HUSTLE: It’s the trickle-down economy. Well done.
