@Leah – I woulda LOVED it if my parents did that! Although no way I’d want to live there all those years if it’s bought… plus, you know how rowdy college kids get. probably not yours though ;)
@Kevin @ Thousandaire.com – I miss roommates sometimes… the money part was nice, but the party planning/hanging out was even better! Of course, now w/ the wife *other* parts are better ;) ow ow!
@StackingCash – Sources say…. Very Probable!
@MKG – I, J. Money, had a bad one in College before but not sure if Mike, author of this article, has? I’m sure he has, and hopefully he’ll share with us when he reads this! :) I’ll have to share mine later…. too long to write out now.
@too funny – Thx dude. Hope you’re saving a cple beers for me! Hoping to get together as soon as things calm down a bit.
@Briana @ GBR – They usually become your best friend, or your enemy ;)

This sounds great, but I don’t think I could do it. I would love to do a rental property but living with strangers would throw me off lol

Do you have any horror stories about any of the roommates you have had thus far? Roommates do not work for me.

Is J. Money going to rent out his house and get an apartment closer to work? Hmmm…

I used roommates all through college to ensure I never paid more than $300 in rent a month. Now I pay $850 a month in rent and would never go back to roommates unless it was my best friend. Congrats on being able to deal with a stranger in your house. I did it for years in college and could never do it again.

Great Hustle!
THIS is the living plan I hope my sons will adopt when they start college. Instead of paying those OUTRAGEOUS dormitory fees, I’d rather give them a down payment on a home to live in and rent out to cover the mortgage and insurance…
