Has anyone executed a rent-by-the-room strategy remotely?

[Robert Johnson]

I'm exploring a house hack opportunity but want to make sure that the property will cash flow once I decide to move out. I live in Austin, TX so the property prices are high here and I can't seem to find much of anything that will cash flow as a LTR. Given that there's a higher income opportunity I'm wondering if doing the rent-by-the-room strategy might work? Does anyone have experience doing a rent-by-the-room strategy remotely? Are there property management companies that manage rent-by-the-room properties?

The best way to implement this is to have a "lead" tenant in the house. Rent to them at a discount in exchange to manage the property.
