Hey Madison! I know you specifically said you do not want to do rent by the room househacking, but I would suggest renting by the room to other females that are close in age to you and not allowing guests over if you're worried about males in the house. I househack 5 of our rooms and we have all females other than one couple that I knew before they moved in. We've gotten along great and with running background checks we've never had safety issues! Either way, I know it's tough being a female in these situations so feeling safe and comfortable is the most important thing!

Lots of great responses here so I'll add my quick 2 cents. I think it is ALWAYS a great time to begin a househack. Because your alternative would be to continue renting, and at that point you're not gaining anything. Rent by the room househacking is a great way to offset your expenses, so even if you aren't covering your mortgage completely you're in a way better position than before. I don't have Dallas specific househacking advice, but some general advice I can give is that when you go to post your room for rent ensure that you take the time to take high quality photos and post a detailed description of the property and yourselves. Some of my favorite sites to post on are facebook marketplace, roomies.com, and (surprisingly) Craigslist.

Great job fixing it up! The porch looks suppper cute

Ugh that's so frustrating! I'm not a single female, but my husband and I do a room rental househack and I've definitely had a power struggle with some male tenants in the past in ways that I know they wouldn't have pushed back on my husband. That's a hard field to navigate because you have to be careful as a female and look out for your own well being, but you also want to put your foot down as a landlord. I'm sorry that's happening to you! :(

Congratulations Vinnie on your start into real estate investing!! It's so exciting! I love that you pivoted from multi family to househacking. I think a lot of people are afraid to make that pivot, but there's so much competition with multi family that if you're able to get into a single family home and complete what you're looking to do it can be such a huge advantage! 

I do rent by the room house hacking in Sacramento so let me know if you have any questions as I'm always happy to chat!
