I’m planning to do this for 3 multifamily properties all located in MA, each ranging from 2 to 4 units.

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.

They’re asset-based, meaning the loan is secured by the property itself, and they often have quicker approval times but higher interest rates (think 10–15%) and fees.

If you're located in WI, check out Premier Point Realty and Homestead Realty....both offer the licensing course at a discount and some of the lowest fees/commission splits in our local market.

Location is key.

Our lease contains a clause stating the security deposit cannot be used for the last month's rent. 3.

Depending on the location of your properties, an assistant might be much better than a property management company.

The tax benefits refer to the tax deductions from mortgage interest and property tax.The returns mainly rely on appreciation, and the cash flow only improves in the last few years, also depending on securing the 5% refinance rate.I've learned a lot from this forum, but as I start to operate on my own, I'm still not completely confident.

Quote from @Brandon Vukelich:If you buy a vacation rental in Hawaii, then you're tied to that location.

What's the location, purchase price, expected Reno cost, ARV, etc.?
