I would avoid renting. Once you become a landlord, they have renter rights. Read some of the squatter (a.k.a. Adverse Possession) nightmares. Consider how many, how long, and how often they may have friends over and overnight. Are they party animals, sketchy, poor hygiene habits, drink excessively, etc. Consider the property is in your name, which means any problems they create on your property are yours to deal with, even if they leave. What if you meet someone (that does happen in TV) and get serious, maybe want to move in together, or become "unseparated" now you have to try to remove a renter. IMO, go slowly, make friends, let nature take its course.
