Josh is the reason I mention BiggerPockets to perfect strangers on a weekly basis.

My training will be on my personal SFR and I REALLY need to have a grasp of the software before I start soliciting strangers to manage their properties.

You can make pretty good money just buying already beautiful/ turnkey and renting out spare bedrooms such that you are paid $$ to live with your friends (or strangers) in your own house.

As a new agent with no experience, these are the folks who know and trust you already and will be more willing to work with you than a stranger. - Follow up with your personal circle 10-15X per year via phone, text, email, social media, mail, etc.- Create new relationships each day.

I will give you few tips in order to prevent any issues and then explain how to do your research in regards to the price per room here in Orlando.1) When you place two strangers under the same roof this can cause all kinds of problems.

If you want to get involved with a friend, try to limit your downside by saying Hey I like you and trust you but we have to go about this as though we are not friends, but strangers.

Eversince few stanger and city of low income program step in, a property manager, who damage the security box and let stranger walk in and out with door open.

If you are renting out rooms in the house to complete strangers, then you need to have separate leases and they are each responsible for their own rent. 

And based on my knowledge, it is my opinion that OP should hire a local real estate attorney that is well versed with Des Moines, IA laws regarding things like property abandonment and a CPA that can clearly explain the tax consequences of whatever path the OP takes.You seem to think that he should take the advice of strangers over the internet because they post on BP and may be knowledgeable.

Long Term Rental considering money is cheap these days.You can do room sharing but are you sure you want to wake up and meet with the stranger every day?
