(Especially a 2-4 unit.)Do they have friends/relatives/co-workers that would rent rooms from them if they bought a property to show more income?

I've been in a co-living mastermind for a year, but I'm curious how you set your business up.

Did you lie to the mortgage co and produce a “bogus” lease in order to obtain financing?  

We've had some success recovering money owed, and we've seen it on credit reports.Recently a former tenant attempted to co-sign for another prospective tenant.

@Jarrod OchsenbeinIt's great to hear that you are succeeding with the co-living model.

I’m originally from Texas but now call Colorado home.

I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

One thing I would definitely recommend is getting the students' parents to co-sign on the lease.

I have heard good things about Ohio, Indiana, etc.5 - Due to high interest rates flipping has become highly risky and most businesses have dried up.6 - Co-living and Assisted living seems to be popular right now.So - really depends on your market, your strategy, and your timeline.

Co-living is going to grow and grow as time goes on (but maybe less so in my neck of the woods, to be honest).
