House hacking this deal and looking for a roommate to cut my living expenses even more.

When I didn't get another one in a few minutes (sometimes they'll split the payment between roommates, etc) I called and let them know it was a receipt for only half.

Single family homes are the way to go. 3 bedroom 2 bathrooms are best, get a couple roommates for it and you'll be set.

You may even want to use a 20% down payment on your next property so you and roommates don't have to move and to ensure you aren't over-leveraging yourself.

Purchased my primary and have always had a roommate paying my mortgage.

There is a shortage of affordable housing in the city so if a person is a waiter or waitress or within the service industry then its hard for them to find a place to live on their own without room mates.

We currently have a male (LGBT) applicant fighting to move into an apartment (student housing) where three girls currently live.None of the girls are comfortable with a male roommate.

My friend might be vetting renters/roommates/etc later in the year.

For the first couple of years, we house hacked and had roommates.

The increased mortgage payment on the new house makes me nauseous, so would likely get a roommate.
