Renting to one person vs. Renting two rooms separately?
Curious to hear opinions on the BP Community's experience with rentals. I am under contract on a 2/2.5 Townhouse that I will be renting out. It has a great roommate floorplan with all living space downstairs and two master suites upstairs. Current tenant has paying $1200/mo because she has been there a couple years, but market rent is now between $1300-$1400. I will be closing at the end of this month, so I have not started marketing the property for rent yet, but I was also considering renting it out as a roommate scenario for $800-$850/person. My guess is that renting it as a single unit would carry less potential stress/hassle and possibly less vacancy. Would love to hear your thoughts?
