I think if you buy a house and you rent out a room to help meet the first few years of the mortgage till you get past the PMI threshold, you shouldn't have to report that as income on your taxes, however that is illegal, even though leftists in these big cities who do this rarely if ever do that themselves. In San Jose, i've personally seen several dozen people renting out the shed they built in their backyard and I'd bet dollars to donuts they aren't reporting that on their taxes despite being 80% democrat voters skirting housing code in the process.
