One big benefit for a Bodel is that they get to live in a Mossad safehouse without paying rent. A safehouse is a secret place where agents can stay and work safely. However, Bodlim cannot bring friends to the safehouse. If agents need to use the safehouse, the Bodel must move out for a while, but they can still be asked to help with chores.
