By-the-room House Hackers: Where do you find tenants?

By-the-room House Hackers: Where do you find tenants?

Accountant · Dallas, TX · Member since 2019 · 4 posts · 1 vote

I'm moving out of my parents' house in Dallas in the next month, and I want to live cheaply while I save for a down payment and look for the right property to invest in. I think it'd be a great experience for me to rent a room as a tenant under a landlord who's actively house-hacking by the room to get a feel of the tenant's perspective. What website or app should I visit to get connected with potential landlords?

     Great idea to benefit from someone who is house-hacking until you save up enough to buy your own home! Craigslist and FB Marketplace are the two main sites I've used (same with my friends who do this) when I rent out my rooms so I'd start there.
