Homes by OC
Own a house? Earn more from it.
Renting by the room can earn far more than one traditional lease. OC finds and screens members, collects rent and runs the house.
More income per house
Rent each room instead of the whole house.
We find the members
Marketing, screening, payments and support, done for you.
OC Community
More than a room.
OC Members get house meetups, local perks, and a referral reward: for every friend who becomes a member.
