New... looking to rent out a room in my primary residence

[Aaron Gehrig]

Hi everyone I am new to this and learning as I go.  I have an extra room in my primary residence and I decided the best way to start and learn would be to rent that out.

I guess I am just looking for general advice as to what I should do in this situation and what I should be looking out for especially when it comes to screening.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
