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.

I'm a part of local real estate investors meeting and I have some good realtor contacts.

I'm exploring the demand for 3D virtual tours and high-quality real estate photography for both real REIs and (REAs).

The idea is to convert a multi-family building into condos; but not in the traditional sense where you separate pre-existing apartments into their own condos; but in a way where you combine the common areas of all of the apartments in that whole building, and turn the individual rooms within those apartments into condos themselves; thus transforming the hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, porches, balconies into common areas of the condos. 

If you are a beginner, I highly recommend exhausting your conventional options.

I don't know anything about commercial or apartments so I can't really help you there.

Highly recommend starting close to you so you can get eyes on the property if you do decide to purchase a true rental. 

We moved into a nice house in Florida when I was a sophomore in high school.

Same with a refrigerator replacement, HVAC system repairs, etc.So, I am back to echoing Jaycee: first, don't be discouraged because someone else says to avoid a part of town.  

The rate will also be high.
