Rent by the room, Portland OR

[Patrick Cousineau]

I will be looking to buy a 3br single family home in Portland, Oregon within the next few months. I am drawn to the idea of minimizing my housing expenses through house hacking and understand multifamily homes such as duplexes and triplexes are difficult to come by in Portland proper. As such, I am considering a rent by the room situation. Any advice on what neighborhoods to consider? Ideally I would like my property to attract younger tenants (under the age of 35). My budget is 500k.
