How to find roommates?

[Vania Nettleford]

I’m purchasing my second home, it’s a single family near Raritan, Somerville, Bridgewater area in New Jersey.

It’s a 3 bedroom 1 & a half bathroom. I’m 27 and don’t have kids so I don’t mind having roommates but I’m having trouble finding them. Any advice would help?

@Vania Nettleford When I house hacked and got roommates I used my network of friends. I had other friends of mine who used craigslist. One worked out well,the other didnt. My advice on any form is to do full background checks. Credit, criminal and eviction, no matter who is vouching. There's a ton of websites too. Padmapper, roommates.com, apple called room8, etc. Also try facebook marketplace. Good luck! Remember to screen heavily!
