I have friends that own them and they are a high profit and high management business. You'll likely have to deal with drama amongst tenants, monitoring the utility bills, lots of turnover, and the occasional police phone call. Is managing people one of your strengths? Because you'll likely be doing a lot of that.

Check out this thread as it may be helpful: Boarding Houses

 Will, I have staff that manages our real estate investments so management is cool but the turnover and vacancy is what scares me because this would be a monster mortgage payment. Thank you for the tread, I will read up!

Im not sure what they are called in Cali, but they are boarder homes, almost like a hostile but longer term occupants. every tenant gets a furnished room and they share common kitchens & baths.

I have the opportunity to buy 3 room in houses (33 total units) that are in a good town and in great shape. The properties are totally renovated and have about a 12 cap. I am a seasoned investor but I have 0 experience with room in houses. I am worried about constant turnover or high vacancy rates. If anyone can add some insight, I would deeply appreciate it! Thank you

i've been hearing a lot about short refi's. has anyone had an experience handeling these? I understand it very similar to a loan modification or a forbearance, but the deficiency is forgiven. Please let me know if anyone can add to this.

help the client refinance into an fha loan then you can exercise your due on sale clause and redeem your full investment. Just an idea.
