We are seeing co-living investors be able to obtain strong cashflow vs. the traditional long term rental where price points are below $320k or so.I'd pick a sub-market that you have confidence in holding over the next 5 - 10 years.Personally, I like the northern parts of the metro (Kennesaw, Acworth, Cartersville) for LTR and Dekalb, Clayton, Fulton) for Co-living.Feel free to ping me if you'd like to chat - happy to help!

As a property owner, what innovative techniques have you implemented to cultivate a thriving co-living community?

Just like you I have been thinking into mentorship programs and I have gone to Multifamily Mindset ($40K), Apartment Educators ($20K) which is based in Texas, and now I am looking into RE Mentor (mentor of co-founder of Multifamily Mindset) and it's a 3 day seminar for $1500 (but they end up giving you a *one time discount* if you sign up during the free 2 hour event for $995 but it is possible to sign up for their mentorship program through their website if you can't go to their free event).

THe Fannin Co part of Morganton is fine as is Mineral Bluff. 

This is particularly true in areas close to tech hubs and co-working spaces.

Hi Lue, You meet the requirement, you would be what's called a non-occupant co-borrower.

This is in comparison to a rental where the government is not your co-signor.

Smoke alarm and CO alarm, I provide.  

I saw the biggest property managers in the area and I think the one we have been using for long term came up on that list unless “ Home Sweet Home “ is a national property management co. like Evolve and the others ..

I use Focusmate to co-work with others online.
