I’m semi-retired and looking for a young, energetic couple who may be interested in a different kind of living arrangement.
I’m offering a rent-free place to live in exchange for helping me revitalize, organize, repair, and improve my home and property.
You would have a private furnished 12’ × 20’ room that can serve as your bedroom and personal living/work space.
Rather than paying monthly rent, we would work out an agreed-upon arrangement where you help with projects around the property. Each week, we would identify specific tasks and milestones to work toward. Projects could include cleaning, organizing, painting, repairs, landscaping, moving things, and helping bring neglected areas of the property back to life.
From time to time, there may also be opportunities to make a little extra money helping me sell off things I no longer need.
You get:
* A private furnished room
* No monthly rent
* A chance to get financially caught up or build some savings
* A stable place to live while figuring out your next move
* Possible opportunities to earn some extra money along the way
I get:
* Two energetic people willing to pitch in
* Help completing projects that have become difficult for me to tackle alone
* Steady progress toward revitalizing my home
This could be a particularly good fit for a couple who are hardworking and capable but currently feel financially strapped or stranded and need an opportunity to reset.
I’m interested in people who are dependable, respectful, reasonably handy, and willing to actually participate in improving the place.
The exact responsibilities, expectations, hours, privacy, and living arrangements would all be discussed and agreed upon before anyone moves in, so everyone knows exactly what they are signing up for.
