I would have no problem renting to two professional renters that can afford $3,500 a month each. But maybe I'm relying on SF experience where cohousing is pretty common. There are even SF companies that buy higher end homes and rent rooms to professionals.
Most of these people work long hours and the homes are closer to their work than what they could find for one third to one fourth of what they could afford. These are not party houses and there is usually a person in charge for reduced rent that reports any problems to the owner.
The difference between two $3,500 rentals and one $7,000 rental should be pretty dramatic. I could see choosing this type of living for short term arrangement.
Is there any news on the sales?
