I am always looking for good sources of information, which I might share with our friends who are reading.

Despite this, we collected rental income and incurred related expenses.

I came across this article from Kellogg Insight showing how online sports betting is eating into people’s savings.

I helped my investor client secure this Raleigh property, perfect for his vision!

Who has any creative ways I can go about making this happen? 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Quote from @Felicia Nitu: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: hope it works.. but throwing in the affordable housing requirement a lot of times kills the project right there.Also at least in markets I have worked the time lines START from completed submission.. you make your submission and then get an incomplete letter this goes on for months and months soo time lines still extend.. but at least its a step in the right direction hope if works.Hi Jay, the affordable housing requirement can definitely be a dealbreaker for some projects.

This means proper screening is even more critical to reduce potential conflicts, late payments, and property damage.Pros of Renting by Room:✅ Higher Cash Flow – Renting by the room can generate more total income than leasing a unit as a whole.✅ Lower Vacancy Impact – One empty room doesn’t mean the entire property is losing rent.✅ Flexibility – Month-to-month leases may work better for students, traveling professionals, or short-term renters.Cons & Risks of Renting by Room:🚨 Higher Tenant Turnover – More frequent move-ins and move-outs mean more wear and tear, vacancy gaps, and potential management headaches.🚨 Increased Tenant Conflicts – Screening matters because you’re placing strangers together, and mismatched tenants can cause issues for everyone.🚨 More Lease Enforcement Challenges – Handling disputes, unauthorized guests, or noise complaints becomes more complicated with multiple unrelated tenants.Why Proper Screening is Critical:Not all background checks are the same!

This takes some of the risk off of the landlord and places the risk on you.

This is also key when losses are being carried forward, they also need to be in these buckets.For your second question.
