Hello-

I recently put a newly purchased property up for rent and since the initial post the estimated rent for the area has increased by $100 (which is pretty substantial in this area). The home is listed with a potential lease start date of 4/1/2019 and I don't currently have a tenant occupying. Is it acceptable to increase the listing price even though I've previously communicated the lower price to potential tenants? 

Also, what is the best approach/response to an applicant to whom I've decided not to lease the property?

Any suggestions/advice/insight is greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to the BP community and recently purchased my first property. It is a single family unit with no remodel needed and only minor fixes required to be ready for occupancy. I am looking to rent out a home with two bedrooms, an add on room that can serve as a third bedroom and one bathroom. I am trying to determine the best approach to renting out as either an entire unit or by room. The property is located near two community colleges so there is a potential market for renting out shared space through Bungalow or a similar site. Just trying to gage other people's experience with this market. What are some advantages and disadvantages and was the extra income worth any additional effort?

Thanks!
