Scandinavian strategy applied in the US
Hey everyone,
I recently caught up with a client who just returned from Denmark, and he shared some fascinating insights about a real estate investment strategy that's been thriving over there: investing in co-housing communities. In Denmark, these communities combine private living spaces with shared common areas like kitchen etc., fostering a strong sense of community among residents. He made a little over $2 million through these properties through free cashflow and appreciation. I know this type of housing was featured in the one show "Happy!" ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1613092/ ) on Netflix with a professor, Daniel Gilbert, from Harvard University.
He and I got connected here on another buy-and-hold project but shared this approach, and it's got me wondering - could this model work here the U.S., especially in places where there's a push for sustainable and community-focused living?
Has anyone here explored or invested in co-housing projects stateside? I'm curious about your thoughts on whether this strategy could take off here given our market dynamics. Would love to hear your experiences or opinions!
Cheers,
Pat
