Traditional deals often don’t excite investors—offering $200/month in cash flow isn’t very compelling.But with co-living, you can offer 5X the returns, making it much easier to secure funding.Now, instead of asking an investor to put up a 20% down payment for $200/month cash flow, you can pitch them a 5% down investment yielding $1,000+/month—a much more attractive deal.Why Co-Living is the FutureCo-living isn’t just another strategy—it’s a high-demand, high-cash-flow, lower-risk investment model that aligns with today’s rental market trends.

Another great strategy is leveraging trained VAs to handle lead generation—whether it’s cold outreach, follow-ups, or data gathering—so agents can focus on closing deals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I normally estimate an additional $5,000 to close.Hopefully this information helps those who are wondering about costs and deal analysis just trying to get started.

For those, each has its own LLC because I need to segregate investors in different properties (in other words, the ownership is different so the entity has to be different) and because our lenders for those size deals require single purpose entities.But if I formed a separate LLC for each of the 700+ properties that I’ve purchased in my career (all of the houses and small multi), I’d need a full-time legal team just to handle entity administration.  

We run into this especially at out parcels in grocery anchored centers, and our users generally can't make a ground lease work for the business case so the next best thing does tend to be the BTS or we often do Reverse BTS deals where the majority of the building design and management etc is done by the tenant. 

Make sure any lease agreement you use complies with Arizona's landlord-tenant laws, including required disclosures (like bed bug information, for example).If you're unsure, consulting with a local real estate attorney to review the agreement can provide peace of mind and ensure you're fully protected.

You need to make sure you're working with someone whose sending you personalized deal flow that actually meets your buying criteria.

While good deals these days can be hard to come by, we've definitely seen success across all those Florida cities you mentioned. 

And you will keep missing deals if you don't take action.
