Rent by Room in Upscale Neighborhood
Hope everyone is well!
I have a question that deals with renting by room, and if certain types of houses are harder to do this in.
In my case, I am thinking about house hacking. In the area I am looking at (Dallas/Fort Worth area), there does not seems to be a lot of multi-family properties, and it seems like the best option is to rent by room in a single-family. A lot of the houses I am coming across seem to be pretty upscale, high-quality, and big.
I am currently a college student, and I would most likely want to live with young professionals when it is time for me to pull the trigger. Do people generally have trouble finding tenants for a situation like this? A lot of young professionals I know would not be looking to rent a room in an big and upscale house. From what I see, they tend to gravitate towards places that aren't as big or nice, generally because of price point.
Is there always some type of person/tenant for any situation? Or would it be difficult for me to find tenants for a place like this?
