SFH House Hacking - Renting out on a Per Room Basis

[Peter Buccowich]

Hello!

I'm a recent college grad looking to start house hacking in the next 6 months. I looked at Duplexes/Triplexes but found trouble finding MFH work given how much money I have (limited to $30k down), so I pivoted to looking at SFH, specifically 4br around $230k range.

The trouble is I have no connections where I just moved so I can't get my friends to rent from me, which leads to my questions:
For those who have rented out on a per room basis, did you find that the rent per room dropped significantly compared to if you rented all rooms out in one unit? Where I live, there are no basements or any clear way to separate a SFH into multiple units. Generally speaking, is it worthwhile to buy a SFH to house hack?

Thank you all so much! All feedback is appreciated.
