Room Rentals in Baltimore

[Ike Opaigbeogu]

Hi everyone, 

I currently own two properties and house hack. I have just moved into the second property and find it difficult to manage a room rental when I am not living there.  I plan to rent to college students in the area and travel nurses in another area. Is anyone doing this successfully and any tips?

@Ike Opaigbeogu rent by the room is tough because you have to deal with drama between tenants. Might be easier to do a long term lease to a group in one house and then rent by the room in the home you just moved into so you can have some oversight. You'd make more money on rent by the room, but it can be a major headache if you're not there to manage.
