Should I Tell the Roommate that I'm the Landlord?
As described by the title, what are the pros and cons of telling your house hacking roommate that you're the landlord?
Some say to never tell them and let a real estate agent show the house and what not, but I feel that I would have a hard time not being completely transparent with my roommate. Of course, I would keep my distance in terms of them being a close friend, due to any unexpected complications. I just think that I would operate better if I told them up front... What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
