The revenue jump is not the hard part. Keeping it is. The playbook is the operating system our own houses run on.

Filters at the front

Three filters at the front decide whether a house can hold the model: the property, the market, and the numbers have to clear the bar before you buy. Most coliving mistakes are made on purchase day.

Habits at the back

Five operational habits at the back decide whether the people you put in the house actually stay. Systems that reduce drama and burnout, clear agreements that create stability, and a financial model that supports both people and profit.

"What makes a coliving property cash flow is whether the people in the house actually want to stay."

David Ross, Founder

Not a projection. What the properties
have produced.

95%: model occupancy
2 yr: average resident stay
32: coliving bedrooms owned and operated

Properties running the model typically hit these numbers. They are the same systems the playbook hands you.

I'm David Ross.

I spent 25+ years in systems development and analytics at Wells Fargo, GE Plastics, Delhaize America, and Volex before launching coliving operations in 2019. I own and operate coliving properties, including 32 coliving bedrooms, and I built this playbook from running them, not from theory.

This country is getting lonelier every year. Coliving is the rare model where the fix for that and the cash flow are the same thing: residents get rooms at $750 to $950 a month with built-in community, and owners get 2 to 3 times the revenue of a traditional rental.
