The headache of playing peacemaker between 3-5 unrelated tenants doesn't sound worth the premium management fee; not to mention rent by room generally brings in lower quality tenants which require significant more management.With that said, higher rates are pushing investors toward rent by room simply because it's the only option for cash flow (at least in Denver) which is why I have so many folks reaching out.If you currently have rent by room investments or perhaps you're a PM currently offering rent by room, I'd love to hear your feedback and any advice you may have. 

For cash flow-focused investments, consider neighborhoods on the west or south sides, like Speedway or Southport, but be mindful of local market trends and tenant quality.

It will depend on the quality you're looking for..

Speed and cost/tax-efficiency are usually mutually exclusive.  

Hi Jewell,The first thing is to see what is lacking the most in the property since small upgrades will have the biggest impact in the areas of low quality to start.

Only 10% of people will finish a course they buy online, so #BeDifferent and finish -> you'll be in the top 10%.I almost didn't finish my Jim Qwik speeding reading course, but I returned and got it done...

That's why, its best to shop for quality lenders. 

Is the tenant quality good? 

If my husband and I were to start over again we would buy higher quality assets and not be focused on immediate cash flow and unit count like we were when we started this after exiting a fairly decent sized small business.

It will speed up the process of finding no-competition deals faster.
