House Hacking

Rental application & background checks

Hi everybody. I'm just about ready to househack one of my rooms in my 3b 2b SFH. I have a potential lead, but I need some assistance on getting started. I know I need a separate bank account and rental forms. I also need the background check app, and probably something else that I'm not thinking of. Any suggestions? I would appreciate it.

    I'd add: get to know your local laws.
