Anyone selling $10K–$30K courses on this model is skipping the hard part: local law.Co-living can work great, but only with:proper screeningstrict house rulesweekly cleaningclear expectationscompliance with your city’s occupancy limitsThere is no legal shortcut that magically bypasses zoning + occupancy limits.If your city caps at 3 unrelated adults, the only legit ways to go above that are:Zoning for rooming / boarding houseConditional use permitsAssisted care licensing (totally different world)Converting to multi-unit legallyEverything else is “guru fantasy land.”

That’s where we do our best work.On the investment side, a clear pattern is emerging:A lot of my seasoned landlords are in refinement mode—shedding the time-suck properties and reallocating into quieter, more scalable cash-flow lanes.Oil and gas.Data-center participation.Warehouses.Not easier.

Our model is simple — we find great investor-minded agents in each market and build a meetup community around them.

The build to rent or build to sell model is great.

I also experienced an issue in personal residence where HVAC unit pulls a vacuum while in AC mode, and sucked in sewer gas from condensate line.

Even 3–4 people a day coming by can tick off the neighbor/other tenant and suddenly you’re in referee mode.4.

Quote from @Trevor Brouelette: I’ve been underwriting deals this month with a goal to analyze 5 properties using an Excel model I built.

There was an additional 20k fee for them to source you properties that would fit their model.

Once the paid off in full metric reached my goal, which it has with my last rental purchase, my idea is to pivot my strategy from acquisition mode to debt paydown mode.

So the model is not new, but scaling it with discipline and predictable investor returns takes a level of structure most operators do not build.
