Others have pointed out all the traps to which you expose yourself if
you rent out the space.  Better to offer what you think is a fair
price that you can afford, then afterwards you can invite people you
trust to cooperate in some sort of friend-to-friend deal.  But i
wouldn't go commercial, without commercial insurance and commercial
rates.  And at least where I live, you can't do that in a residential
area.  All it  takes is one nosy neighbor who doesn't like what's
going on, and you're in over your head with no rental income.
