Househacking: What's your recommended Floorplan/Layout?
Hi BP Family,
Looking for tips on good vs. bad layout/floorplans for an intended house hack.
We're looking at an SFR house hack (4-5BR) here in Roseville, CA. I'm assuming that more bedrooms, more rent, better chances of a house hack success but wanted to hear from people who have done this before.
Based on your experience;
- What floorplan/layouts work well for a SFR house hack?
- Bed to bath ratio (What's the situation like with 2 Single BR tenants sharing 1 bathroom?)
- In-law suite (with small den room) vs. 2 separate beds sharing one bath
- What's the max number of separate tenants you recommend in a SFR (car parking issues, daily life routines etc.)
