Rent by room platform recommendations for the Del Valle area

Rent by room platform recommendations for the Del Valle area

Member since 2021 · 27 posts · 16 votes

In the middle of putting my spare bedroom onto a rent by the room platform. Currently house hacking a SFH 3 bed 1 bath and have a roommate in place already (roomate is a coworker) but like to rent out the other room. Any recommendations on which rent by room platform would be best for the Austin area, specifically Del Valle? I've gone through pad split, roomies.com, spare room. Seems limited specifically for Del Valle but figure i'd go with Roomies.com or pad split. Any recommendations welcomed!

    Hey! I rent out rooms here in Chicago (and Chicago suburbs) so not sure if this’ll apply in Austin. But, for tenants (or roommates), I find that Facebook marketplace works really well for me. I also list rooms on Airbnb and set minimum booking dates (3,6,9, or 12 months) to find my mid-term or long-term tenants. Hope this helps!
