@Josh ThompsonNot sure about the legal issues, however if you're single and not adverse to room mates they could stay and pay the mortgage allowing you to gain more savings for your next property.

I can't imagine it makes sense to tie into an old steam heat system that will likely need replacement in the next 5 years.Adding electric baseboard heaters might be the least expensive way to get a heat source into the rooms, but I'm worried that the high operating costs could be a turn off for renters and drive down what they'd be willing to pay.Has anyone else gone the electric route, and what was your experience like in terms of impact to your rental business?

Rent them by the room and it's possible to cash flow $500-$1000 /mo while living for free.

Many people pay off some loans to keep others available others do the algebra on what they make room a purchase vs what they pay in taxes and make a decision based on that.

I'm in Casper but grew up in RS/GR and still come to visit family there.  

But had to rent out rooms to fellow University students.

Pm me if you want some free email property data alerts for foreclosures / listings in your neighborhood.I bought a too big house and rented out rooms.

I wouldn’t buy it.It doesn’t seem that there’s much room to add value and the margins are really low.

We currently own a new house that was built before we moved in, and it is in a developing neighborhood, we are going to rent that house out then move into the house we just bought and do a live-in-flip and possibly sell or rent after two years to avoid the capital gains tax on the profits.Our goal is to get as much stuff done to the house as we can before we actually move in because we have two small children and it will be rough trying to live in construction zone with these two crazy babies.So, so far we have taken out the whole kitchen, removed ugly tile in the living room and two bathrooms, and started demoing the laundry closet.

The only downfall to the house I see is that you do have to walk through the front bedroom to get to the bathroom, but there is a closet I believe could be converted to an entrance to the bathroom...but it would be directly off the living room.
