Hi All,I am 25 years old and graduated from college three years ago.

What to look for in a good rent-by-the-room propertyThis matters a lot:• At least 3–4 legal bedrooms• Two or more bathrooms• A layout where bedrooms don’t share thin walls• Plenty of parking• A common area large enough for multiple people• A location near hospitals, colleges, or job centers• A basement or attic that can be finished legallyAnd most important:A floor plan where rooms feel private.Privacy is what keeps tenants staying longer.My honest adviceAt your age, with energy and time on your side, this strategy can fast-track you if you treat it like a business.But don’t do it blindly.Tour existing co-living houses in your area.Study your local ordinance.Model the extra expenses and the extra time.Room-by-room renting works, but it works because the operator is organized, not because the property magically prints money.

What does being in college have to do with it? 

Quote from @Michael Peterson: I'm a college student and my business class partner thinks AI real estate videos are the future. 

I've been tempted to look for condos in a vacation area like Gatlinburg/Pigeon forge or maybe in a college town like Lexington KY.

Plus, your college experience will also teach you a lot about which niches might suit you best...
