House hacking with an unconventional room?

[Michael Paling]

Hey other investing minded folks! I’m looking for properties that I could potentially house hack by renting extra rooms and I checked out a property earlier today that I’m interested in some feedback. Here’s a link:

The property is marketed as a 3 bedroom, but the third “bedroom” is more of an extra space at the top of the stairs. My thoughts with this is that I could potentially claim that space for myself while renting the other two bedrooms, but it’s just a little odd with the access to the upper bedroom going through that area. I wouldn’t mind, but I’m curious if anyone here has done something similar. How much of a deterrence do you think this would be to potential tenants? 

There’s plenty of work needed to fix this place up, so I’d intend this to be my primary long term with probably adding an extra bed/bath over time in the unfinished areas.
