Hi — we’re Mas & Jeannine.
We’ve rented a room in our family home for nearly a decade — to travel nurses, grad students, relocating professionals, and more.
We learned early:
this isn’t just “housing.” It’s sharing a home.
We wrote Roomer Mill because we couldn’t find practical, compassionate guidance for people like us — homeowners renting just one room, who care about privacy, fairness, and good communication.
Make hosting simple — and deeply human.
• Screen respectfully
• Set clear expectations
• Avoid avoidable mistakes
• Create predictable income
• Still feel good about the whole thing
This guide is especially for:
• Parents with kids at home
• First-time hosts
• People worried about taxes/legal issues
• Anyone nervous about sharing space with strangers
— and now we’re sharing what works.
From awkward first attempts to systems that actually feel sustainable, Roomer Mill exists so you can skip the guesswork and host with confidence.
