@Sarah HartsteinThe way you spoke so highly of your success embodies what investing is all about.The more I research investors who are successfully investing outside the country, the more I feel inclined to shift my goals toward international real estate investments rather than focusing solely on opportunities within the U.S.I will most certainly keep you in mind once I am ready to expand my portfolio! 

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.

In high-appreciation markets (e.g., CA), lower cash flow may be acceptable.

We’ve booked yurts in Colorado (hike in only at high altitude, bring all your own stuff), remote cabins in Northern MN, etc.

I highly recommend hiring an attorney, at least for your first time.Some attorneys specialize in evictions.

In San Diego at the current rates for a purchase loan (which has better rates than an ADU additions) at high LTV, I show 1% does not cash flow on a sustained basis.  

I own two properties there, but insurance costs have skyrocketed.Lately, securing home insurance has become increasingly challenging due to the high risk of hurricanes, flooding, and other factors.

@Connor ChatlosDenver and Chicago's high property values make multifamily properties ideal for house hacking.

Are there specific qualities or terms you look for that make the relationship a good fit for your investment strategy?

Rates are too high.
