Also, should Craigslist be the main forum for advertising the vacant rooms or are their other platforms people have used in the past that have yielded quality tenants?

Should be to get a performance baseline from this information.Can you do better with better marketing, pictures, amenities or utilizing more listing platforms?

I wanted to reach out on this platform and ask.

I bet Colorado Springs is a beautiful area.

I would bet a few more locals would respond there rather than some yahoo down in Texas.

Your broker may have forgotten, but when the appraiser reports back to the lender that it is a rooming house, the lender will walk away or only underwrite an LTV of 50-65%.Your best bet is either a private lender or finding a conventional lender which uses auto-approval software (TD is an example) and mortgage agent/broker who can steer you towards an application that qualifies for auto-approval (if at all possible).When we were first in the same situation, we approached a family member with a proposal to have their name on title and live in the house (rent and utilities free) in exchange for their serving as the Den Mother to keep the house in order.  

Typically your safest bet is stating there was a qualified candidate who submitted their application before them.

Seems like Podio is going to be the best bet starting out and just integrate it with a dialer, RVM, and texting platform.

Potential tenants should see it on every platform imaginable, it looks like you’re on Zillow Group sits (Zillow/Trulia/Hot Pads) but not the other sites.

a small, local bank would be the best bet.
