Looking for advice on renting as a rooming house
We have a couple of 4 bed, 2 bath houses in Jacksonville, FL we're considering renting out as individual rooms. Looking for advice and discussion from someone with experience. Need not be in Jacksonville. Thanks

I tried that with a 4/2 I had a couple years ago. It was extremely challenging because there were 4 strangers that needed to get along. It ended up being like Survivor with people dropping out one by one. I self managed, it may be better with a separate manager. My experience only lasted a few months then I rented the house to a family.
