Owner vs. Prop Manager

[Nick Lemieux]

Hey Everyone!

So I am on track to close on my first property on November 30th. It will be a house hack 3BR 1.5 Bath, where I plan to live in one room while renting out the other 2. Being in Boston, I think I will be able to get it rented quite quickly. However, I'm unsure how I should approach prospective tenants.

I've read before that saying you are the property manager ( owned by a family, friend, etc) instead of owner is the way to go about it. But, I also don't want to have tenants feel like I deceived them. Inevitably I could see one of my friends letting it slip some night. How does everyone else handle it??

Thanks!!

Nick
