Hi!
So here's my situation...And any advice would be great!
I'm a full time PSO who works pretty much every day/all day. I have a 2 bedroom in a nice apartment, in the North OC/South LA area in California. I only use the master bedroom and I work in the living room.
While I'm not interested in finding (another) roommate-the one that's here is out in a couple of days and I'm over living with people.
But, my rent is steep and was just raised since my lease needs to be renewed and I had the idea that I could rent that room as a place for someone to do their camming (or PSO) work. I've talked to several people over the years who either would do either cam or PSO work or did but now they don't have the space. Maybe they live with parents, or roommates that wouldn't want that in their home for whatever reasons, or they have kids and the environment they live in doesn't work for them, so an "office" away from home would be perfect.
So, my place would be their work space. It's a private room, approximately 15x12. They can use the bathroom and use the kitchen to warm up their food.
I would either rent it by the week or the month (preferably) and there would be a set "hours of operation" for them to come over and work. I would have nothing to do with their work, I'm not offering a gig or any weird "arrangement" and I would not be in their "business" whatsoever.
Now, my question is: how much should I charge? My initial thought was between $20 & $40 per day depending on how much they need it or if they are taking it by the week or the month. And if I found multiple people (probably no more than 2) who could split time there then that's fine too. Because maybe someone can only use it on the weekends and there's someone else who needs it during the week. I'm pretty open and flexible to other people and their needs...
But I'm just not positive on how much to charge. I realize people have their regular rent, etc. so I don't want to ask for too much, but at the same time, I know how great a place like this would be for someone to do this work-where they otherwise could not if their living situation doesn't permit it, and the earning potential is great, and it has to make sense for me too, having someone here using a great room every single day (if they choose).
So, I'm just looking for your opinions here on what would be a fair price to charge on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Just as some kind of comparison, a room for rent on Airbnb is between $50-100/night in my area, although this is a very different situation.
Thanks for reading and any *positive* thoughts are welcomed!
