Attracting Roommates Who are Okay with Not Having Alcohol
Hello,
So I bought my first house hack back in July, and I've been trying to find roommates for about 6 months or so and haven't quite had any luck. I suspect part of the reason might be because I have a no-alcohol policy for my property, which I understand might draw a lot of people away to some extent. For context, I have that policy due to my own religious restrictions as I'm not allowed to have any alcohol at my place of residence. I was wondering if anyone had ideas on how I might be able to attract more tenants who are okay with having this type of policy as I know it might be a bit of a niche market, but I'd love to hear any suggestions. So far, I've used Facebook Marketplace, Zillow, Roomies, Craigslist, and Roomster, and I was able to get some level of interest initially, but haven't had a ton of luck since then, so I'd love to hear some ideas.
