Unconfounded roommate fears

Derek Hutson

Posted

Hello!

In the near future, I will be making a move on a property that I will be house hacking.

However, my soon to be wife is afraid that any roommates we may have that she does not personally know will turn out to be evil, trashy, or serial killers....

I however know that there are plenty of good people out there (especially in our area of Denver) that can be excellent long term tenants.

Aside from a thorough application and screening process, and potentially just getting a duplex so we can have completely separate units, what are some ways you have dealt with fears like these that could hold us back from a great deal?
