There are so many options for the types of property developments you can do, and one of them is rooming houses or “rent by room” properties.

Today, Bob and I talk about whether or not rooming houses actually make good property developments or not, what they really are technically, who they’re for, how to get started, and more! This is a particularly interesting episode so tune in now!
