Once you find a good tenant though, they usually stay for a long time, so it takes patience and good screening.

Memphis Invest is a very high quality company as others have said. 

I do plan to fully screen her friend too.

The better quality ones are extremely durable and sometimes difficult to distinguish from wood.  

BiggerPocket's "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" goes into significant detail on the screening process.

This is not a war zone but we overestimated the quality of the location.

As John said, I would run the screening reports to determine who will be the best tenant.

Repairs are somewhat similar- smaller areas and lower quality expected.

Is there a tipping point for number of roommates to house hack with before it interferes with quality of life/vacancy rate/price per room?

@Mindy Jensen Hi there- the “unanswered” screen in the forum has disappeared again.Also when using the app and needing to edit a post mid sentence, the Caps lock remains on and one must manually change each lettwr to lower case, and spell check no longer works.Thx
