I see some Facebook posts for roommates for wealthier areas of Houston, TX like neighborhoods of Kirby and Montrose, but how do I calculate what I can actually get for a given property?

Goes to a 401k if I leave the company)Potential for a bonus every year (last year was $6500, this year will likely be a bit less)0 DebtOwn a $10,000 Truck outrightHave about $7k saved upSaving anywhere from $1,000-$1,400/moMy share of rent is $1000/mo (have 3 roommates)Excellent credit scoreHere is my dilemma.

They always fin another room mate, for a slight additional rental amount.

Also receive $564/month in social security for my daughter because her mother died last year and my roommate pays me $300/month.

Unless, they team up with a few of their buddies and decide they want to be roommates. 

But because I've been living with a roommate in my 990sqft ZZL, I'm pretty set on living in the 3br unit and enjoying the fruits of my labor :-P haha.What is your market like in Iowa, Steve? 

It is a live-in rehab and I was fortunate enough to bring my roommate with me and have someone else pay 75% of my mortgage.

If you get objections to that, then those roommates aren't ready to live together if they aren't even able to commit to a lease together.

@Chris Harkins definitely not looking to live with roommates.

I lived in the area post UCLA because my college roommate like the artsy vibe of the area.
