When it comes to maximizing profit on your investment property, you’ve likely considered quite a few rental strategies. If long-term doesn’t pencil out, you could always consider revenue from medium-term or short-term tenants if your market supports it. But there is another successful, profitable rental strategy you should add to your arsenal: renting your property “by the room.”
Also referred to as a boarding or rooming house strategy, renting by room is not a new concept. But these kinds of arrangements are not as common as they were at the turn of the 20th century. Renting by room fills an important market gap, though, creating opportunities for renters who may not be able to afford an entire apartment on their own in a time of extreme housing shortages. In aggregate, you also stand to make a ton more money than if you just housed a single tenant.
