Lease option: multiple tenants to make the numbers work?

[Sean Dezoysa]

I run into deals that are just a little too thin on the monthly payment after factoring expenses. On those I'm considering lease optioning to a main tenant with the option, and a secondary tenant for a room or garage rental (straight lease for him).

What do the landlords think of this? I know a proper ADU would be even better but that's expensive.
