There were rooms to be rented in Como.  Also there was the Kelly's  two story brick rooming house on Rowe Street, now gone.  A.A. "Brownie" Anderson shows in his time book, before he was married,  paying his "board" to Pat Gibbony.   Brownie solved  that expense issue by marrying one of the Gibbony girls and buying a house in Como for $400.  Brownie's son also related that they also watched from their home for the head light to show on a westbound as it came around the curve at the top of Kenosha Pass.  As it was.
By the way the UP does still own the mineral rights to some of the Como lots.
