Default Reasonable rent for Northeast El Paso?

Greetings, all!

I just bought a 4 bedroom/2 bathroom house in Sandstone Ranch Estates in Northeast El Paso (just north of HWY 54 off of Sean Haggerty) and I'm looking to rent out two of the four rooms. What could I charge for each room? They're both 11' x 11' and the second bathroom is adjacent to both rooms. Thanks!

Why would you want to rent the rooms in your house?

Must be really hard up for cash. At one time I thought about the same thing but then I came to my senses and realized I had to figure out to make more money some other way. Renting out rooms in my house to total strangers gives me the creeps since you never know what you going to get.

Renting out a room in a house is more common in other parts of the country.

I don't know what you could charge for rent, but remember you won't be able to charge as much as an apartment since the renters will have to share a kitchen with you and your family.

I think that if you are going to rent your room out it would be good to make sure they are Ft. Bliss soldiers. The house is in the NE and close to base. Some soldiers are single and really don't have a need for an apartment or house. As far as price? I would say maybe 200/month including utilities. Good luck with that.

Rooms yes but 11x11 is a closet. Don't buy if you can't afford it.


Skilo, there's nothing wrong with fatties. They have some of the best.............
