I think we will see more "adult" families living together...kids move back in or parents move in with kids.The traditional apartment model was based on 12month leases, but jobs are not always 12 months and people want flexible terms, so co-living often offers that.Seems like younger people between 20-30 and some other age groups don't want to get married and start that housing pathway our parents and grandparents took.   

.🔥 Why Co-Living & House Hacking Work So Well Together✅ Higher Rental Income Per Unit – Renting by the room typically beats traditional rental rates.✅ Lower Vacancy Risk – Losing one tenant doesn’t mean losing all your cash flow.✅ More Affordable for Renters – Competitive pricing attracts a steady stream of demand.✅ Built-In Community = Lower Turnover – Tenants stay longer when they feel connected.✅ Allows You to House Hack a Single-Family Home – No need to compete for pricey duplexes and triplexes!

They will likely want you to do all the traditional lead gen steps: cold call, open houses, door knock, etc.

That’s not a bad idea however we already have an FHA Loan for our primary home so that wouldn’t be ideal and we are not looking to buy a property using a traditional loan as our goal is to use the Brrrr strategy for our first property.I believe If there is a strong strategy in place with a detailed bid of the rehab I believe that there is a possibility that we might find a hard money lender or possibly a DSCR loan opportunity.

I don’t want to start a political discussion, but with current events I’d be interested in moving my somewhat significant traditional IRA assets offshore before that becomes impossible.

I forget It was likely a mix of private and traditional loans I just don't recall to be honest nothing illegal. 

Traditional MLS How did you finance this deal?

Quote from @Gregg Hutton: As a realtor who started as an investor first, I’ve noticed a huge mindset difference between investors and traditional homebuyers.

I think you should start by understanding what it is your investors want out of the deal, analyze how the returns compare to traditional investments, and then see where you fit into this deal. 

upside is you can open up your tenant pool to people who have resources for their own home but may be missing some of the traditional bank qualifications.
