Renting a room in your own apartment

Hey BP! 

I'm midway on my first BRRRR duplex, have my unit done and after an injury and some other setbacks, back underway on my second unit.

I have an extra bedroom in my unit, and am considering renting it out. I live in NJ. 

I am wondering what people have done (besets practices), places to post the listing as just the room, etc. 

Any info would be great, wanting to take more proactive steps and increase my savings rate and pickup more rentals.

    @Kevin Santos do it! Many people start out this way. I used craigslist. Make sure you can get along, a roommate is very different from a tenant!
