Is it worth sacrificing peace and quiet and taking on roommates to boost your income?

I currently earn about $2,000 per month in passive income and work full-time in a $21/hour manual-labor job. I’m considering adding Uber Eats deliveries or reselling items on Facebook Marketplace for extra cash. Since I live alone in a brand-new house, I could charge roughly $800 per room, but I’ve heard plenty of horror stories about difficult roommates. Even after covering all my bills and expenses, I still have around $1,300 left over each month. Should I?

why do you need the money? you should be making the least amount needed and then doubling it for leisure and shit. that's all you need.

In my experience you will be constantly annoyed by the roommates (complaining and drama) if you don't screen the applicants to your ad. What you must do is request the contact details of their previous landlord, then contact him and ask the reason for their leaving. If it was something bad then absolutely guaranteed it will become your problem if you don't find out that information.

only you can decide that anon. I just hope for your sake you're an extravert and not terribly possessive of the crap you own.

Does this really matter? Don't most people want a roommate who fucks off most of the time and doesn't bother them?
