I'd be happy to teach some trade secrets, just reach out. 

My question is, in the bay area, if I were to rent out each room individually in a multifamily house, sort of a dormitory, or shared house for college students.

The West half of the park units have individual meters that are billed through the City directly.

I am a believer in surrounding yourself with more successful individuals.

If you can get five individual residential loans vs. a single commercial loan, you can get fixed financing for a longer term.

Bottom line, legal entities come in when your net worth becomes significant enough to create firewalls between individual pieces.Avoid large banks and google local banks and credit unions; with a decent credit score you will not have a problem to get a loan in your name on a cashflowing property.

I left teaching and got licensed...but I kind of see myself as an investor first, broker second. 

It is often easier to finance a property if purchased as an individual. 

@Patrick SearsIt’s different for each Individual but if your full time job doesn’t max you out in social security you can look at an S Corp and speak to a CPA to see if there are ways to minimize taxable income.With notes really not much you can do if your looking to sell them vs holding them long term.

Hi John,Maybe think about Landlord Locks.You can look them up on the internet.1 master key and individual tenant keys.Good Luck!
