<prompt> Human: Ive been very interested recently at the idea of buying property that I can live in but also rent out space.Does anyone have any experience good or bad or any suggestions to pass along?Basic information on meDebt free73k salaryLow cost of living areaCredit score 700 pretty sure Im around 740House Im currently interested in would be 215k. It has 4 individual apartments, so besides myself i could find 3 other renters I have my current roommate who would be a for sure 1.  <response>: My only suggestions are:1 Make sure you can pay the mortgage upkeep with zero renters.2 Do background credit checks. You can have people who apply for the apt to pay for them as well. IIRC the last place I had was a 50 application fee that would be applied to first month rent if accepted. 3 Make sure you have an actual lease even for your current friend roomate that specifies everything you need to.
