At one point, I was even accused of being unprofessional simply for demanding answers.

The only reason we have requested his presence while contractor is there doing the repair purely because we are worried that the tenant might accuse the contractor damaged his stuff, etc. later.

I'm asking provocative questions with the intent to help, not accuse or anger.

We had an older lady tenant complain that the NEW girl who moved in was 'entertaining' & taking up visitor parking.

I wouldn't want to do a tenant placement myself, certainly not yet unless I had a lot of properties to setup my own company for that, there seems to be a lot of potential liability there related to discrimination accusations, etc and I would prefer to not answer a bunch of questions as the owner, I would rather have someone else do that who is less attached to the property.

I am a real estate agent + I'm in the middle of a gut rehab and it's hard to balance all of this with family ( kids + partner) my wife was a single mom with 3 girls and her sole income was selling real estate prior to us meeting. 

I'm a married, mom of 3 girls 9 and under. 

I don’t have any experience doing this personally, but I’m on Long Island and this is exactly what the couple who owns the property that my girl lives in does.They bought a home, lived in the home while they renovated it, added a basement unit and rented it out.

Last night, one tenant complained that two tenants were running around the house being loud and wrestling (a girl and a guy who barely know each other) and that caused the dogs in a bedroom from another tenant to bark non stop.

Do a Google search for "Boommates" and you'll find references to the Golden Girls TV show and discussions about two significant issues older people face: the high cost of housing and loneliness.For younger people, we call this "house hacking," where someone buys a house and takes in roommates to help cover the costs.
