Her house could have been the house her family lived in, her father could have been in the flax business....

Joshua 2:1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, "Go view the land, even Jericho."

And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country."

3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, "Bring forth the men that are com to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country."

4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, "There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

.......6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.... (Notice she had laid them, not her father.)

I am not going to type the rest of the story but in verse 18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee......

It just does not read to me she was in the hooking business.
