Elk Grove rental per room

[Ali Mirabzadeh]

Hi BP,

I live in SF and been looking into purchasing an OOS investment property - multifamily.

However, recently, due to some personal reasons, started looking into purchase a SFH in Sacramento Area. I have lived there so know the neighborhoods pretty well.

I'm thinking to purchase a 3 to 4 bedroom with at least 3 bathrooms and planning to have my parents stay in one of the rooms. 

My question is, in Sac market, (i.e Elk Grove, Roseville) would it be easy to rent per room or most of the people rent the entire house? 

My goal is to rent each room to someone and have my parents in my room to cover expenses

Would like to get your insight if you have experience in Sac market, esp renting per room
