just pretty much would like to know where everyone goes to to check out rates when renting by the room?

i am going to househack my 1st property so iwant to get a head start by analyzing properties that i am interested in. 

my goal is to airbnb (STR) the bottom half of the home to hopefully produce faster and higher income by making it look nice.

and the i will be renting out one upstairs room while istay in the other one.

I am currently using rentometer but its just giving me the monthly rent for the whole unit so iwonder if theres another site for just rates by the room?

TIA🙌🏽

What does the rent include?  If all utilities are included, look up the comparable price on rentometer and active listings for the top half of the house.  If it is $1000, charge $550 for the room (assuming it is a 2 bedroom) and factor in average utilities.
