I am searching for a housemate or landmates and posted in the singles forum; but I am not looking for romance, so it seems inappropriate. I am not sure what forum would be best. Can someone please direct me?
I think it would be a good for this to have it's own forum, but maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jolene
Years ago when I was looking for a roommate situation the ads were in the newspaper in the real estate section `For Rent` so that might be your best option:

Thanks so much, this seems like the right place. Since I wasn't buying or selling, I didn't think to go there; but I guess renting/work-trade belongs in real estate too.
And thank you for getting my post there already.

We actually have a forum that is called Land Shares, which is "A a forum for posting land/apartments/homesteads/homes you want to share with others. It is also for people to post who are searching for such land shares."
thanks again!
could you tell me how to delete my original post? I can edit things, but I'm not seeing anyway to delete it entirely.
There's no need to delete you thread--we already added it to those forums and so it should be showing up there.
Thank you both for all the help so fast!
I feel silly for missing all of this. I some how didn't see land shares. I saw the real estate forum but didn't think about a rental/work trade falling into that, although of course it does- and I feel extra silly as I've found most of my past homes on the Craigs List real estate rentals.
In my defense, I'm feeling super nervous about getting a housemate. I have lived in roommate situations most of my life and it's gone well most of the time. And my dogs lived with housemates, the last ones weren't even dog people and they eventually grew to love the dogs and it worked out better than I imagined.
Although I hope to share what I have, my last experience was negative and left me hesitant about sharing space again. This is the first time I've owned my own home, and been on this side of the equation. Initially a friend with similar homesteading dreams moved in with me. We had been friends for 20 years and talked about doing this together but it did not go well. I felt taken advantage of and she hated the dogs and had a lot of complaints, and it made us all very anxious.
But I've rented rooms from strangers most of my life to save money, and it's almost always been good- so here it goes.
We must storm this mad man's lab and destroy his villanous bomb! Are you with me tiny ad?
