Personally, I bought a 3 bed single family home soon after starting my job and had two friends from college rent which covered my mortgage plus a little extra.

They also claim it has 6 beds and 5 baths.

So I was hoping someone else could benefit from having the big pieces like couches and beds, nice TVs, etc. 

It sat on 1.5 acres with lots of garden beds and trees.

Obviously this won't work for a  5 bed but if you are just getting 1-2 roomers  check the policy.

My current portfolio includes two 3-Bed/2-Bath Single Family's in my home state.

Any pricing-related tool offered by the OTA itself (think of VRBO, booking etc) is there to ensure you are getting heads in beds at any rate possible, just to ensure they are getting paid. 

Check it out.I am currently licensing a 12 bed RCFE in Santa Cruz, CA.

I definitely need to do more analysis in terms of comparing against other rentas in the area and ideal beds and heads count. 

Same thing with any investor you get in bed with.With time you can work some equity into those rentals and when interest rates come down you will be in a better spot to sell a couple SFHs.
