Unable to rent out single family home rent by the room.

[Jelani Fearon]

So me and my partner are closing on a single family home that we thought we could rent out by the room but I called the zoning department and they said it’s virtually illegal.

This home was financed with an FHA loan as we planned to house hack it as well.

The property is located in Paterson, NJ.

Are there any other solutions in this situation?

I rented out by the room before, I didn't even look into it if it was legal or not for the area. Take a look on Facebook marketplace and see if people are doing a room for rent around where you are, that might give you a good idea of what you can do.
