    I lived in a student house for a few weeks before finding a rental to share with friends. It was a five bedroom house with six people sharing.
    There were guys from Korea, China, Singapore, two Indian brothers sharing a room and me. Everyone seem to get along ok, we all had a lock on our bedroom so security wasn`t a issue.
    The only downside was the cleanliness of the house, especially the kitchen and showers. The owner would do the rounds every few days and give it a light clean but it was still quite grotty. Things like the microwave, oven and stove had things growing inside them and the showers were full of mould.
    I think this idea can work but you must allow time for a deep clean every week to keep on top of it or hire a cleaner.

    Thanks for your help Terryw and elkam.
    elkam your information was excellent, the more simplistic the better. Their are a lot of newbies out there like myself. Well explained.

    Thanks audrey123 it`s only a idea at this stage, im just hoping their are people out there who are comfortable renting with the landlord so near. I guess you just have to be flexible and give each other plenty of space and the benefits for both parties will be enormous. ie any problems with the property could be bought to my attention to rectify immediately . Maybe even no need for a property manager if the right tenants are in place.
