I have been getting more involved into intentional co-living spaces such as care homes (sober living, senior care...etc.) and I wanted to see if there are other investors or operators on here?

Google and YouTube are good targets for high-intent leads.

Quote from @Demetrius Collins: Hi everyone — I’m Demetrius, new to BiggerPockets and based in California, but actively working the Detroit market.My focus is on off-market, investor-grade properties, and I’m currently working through placing a live Detroit deal under contract while also building longer-term relationships with serious cash buyers in the area.I’m intentionally not posting deal details here because I'm unsure of the rules, but my goal here is to:Learn from others active in DetroitConnect with investors who value clean execution, POF, and quick closesBuild relationships beyond just one transactionFor those actively investing in Detroit, I’d welcome any insight into what’s proven effective in finding and vetting dependable cash buyers.Looking forward to learning from the community.— DemetriusThe Scollins Group, LLCHey Demetrius welcome to Detroit. 

Like @Russell Brazil said, you should show the listing before any money changes hands, even if it’s just the application/credit/rent history check fee.Pre-qualifying prospective tenants is fine; you can cut down on your workload and show to high-intent renters that way.

If the intent is to generate rental income, it generally falls under investment property guidelines instead, which changes rates, down payment requirements, and underwriting.

With the year coming to an end, I’ve started outlining goals for next year—fewer rushed decisions and more intentional planning.

Basically I hunt for homes 5b+ with the intention of it being an intentional co-living space (by the room rental)...but I am currently niched in a specific type of care home.

The key issues are lender intent and local regulations, not tenant occupancy.

Instead, they intentionally build diversified portfolios using multiple investment strategies—each with its own risk, return, and management profile.Below is how I break down the core fundamentals of commercial real estate investment strategies, how they work together, and how investors can structure a portfolio to balance stable cash flow with long-term appreciation.The Five Core Commercial Real Estate Investment StrategiesMost institutional and sophisticated investors allocate capital across five primary buckets:Core investmentsCore-plus investmentsValue-add investmentsOpportunistic investmentsREITs and private equity fundsEach plays a specific role in a well-constructed portfolio.Sample Commercial Real Estate Portfolio (10-Year Horizon)To illustrate how these strategies work together, consider a hypothetical $100 million portfolio with a 10-year investment horizon.Investor profile:Moderate risk toleranceSeeking a mix of stable income and capital appreciationWilling to accept some volatility in exchange for higher long-term returnsSample Portfolio AllocationCore investments: 40%Core-plus investments: 25%Value-add investments: 20%Opportunistic investments: 10%REITs & private equity funds: 5%This structure provides predictable income from lower-risk assets while reserving capital for higher-growth opportunities.Core Investments (Stability & Capital Preservation)Core properties are high-quality, well-located assets in primary markets, typically with strong, long-term tenants and near-full occupancy.Key characteristics:Institutional-grade assetsLong-term leases with credit tenantsMinimal capital expendituresPredictable cash flowLower risk, lower returnsExamples:A fully leased industrial building with long-term tenants like Amazon or other national retailersA newly built multifamily property near major employment centers and transitWhy investors use core:Core assets anchor the portfolio.

I do hope I interpreted your intentions correctly and I hope that helped.
