We cover: 🏠 Why renting by the room can change what one house earns 🎓 How he picks college markets (and why hospitals and residencies count too) 🔑 The "head tenant" setup that cuts down management headaches 🔍 The building systems to inspect before you buy: sewer, HVAC, roof, foundation ⚖️ Local rules that can sink the strategy before you start 💰 Why lenders and appraisers see shared housing differently If you've ever wondered whether one house can do the work of three, this one's for you.
