Selling turnkey co-living properties in DFW

Selling turnkey co-living properties in DFW

Investor · Fort Worth, TX · Member since 2025 · 16 posts · 8 votes

My contractor partner and I are building out a co-living development model in DFW... acquire, convert to 6–8 rooms, sell turnkey to operators. We don't want to operate. We want to build and hand off.

Before we go deep on acquisitions, I want to understand the buyer side.

If you're a co-living or PadSplit investor, would you buy a newly converted property in DFW with no operating history? What cap rate would you need to pull the trigger?

Genuinely trying to understand what operators actually want before we build the machine around it.

    My clients look for minimum 7%, they'd love it to be closer to 12% but understand that's not always realistic in this Market.

    How are they determining what a specific submarket should fall under?
