Co-living is one of the most misunderstood, and highest-potential, ​ strategies in residential real estate investing. Most investors hear the buzzwords, see the cash-flow claims, and immediately assume it’s either too risky, too operationally intense, or too complicated to scale.

  • Warning: May Cause Passive Income

    Listening to Invest2Fi is like finding out your broke uncle suddenly became a millionaire—except instead of awkward Thanksgiving advice, you actually learn how to build wealth. The host is smart, funny, and somehow make talking about loans and leverage feel like shotgunning a beer at a frat party… except you come out richer. 10/10 would recommend—unless you enjoy staying broke, in which case, stick to TikTok.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 12 - From Gray Area to Real Coverage: Fixing Co-Living Insurance
Q: What's one tool or system you use in your business that you could not live without?
Matt emphasizes Google Drive and a Hot Sheet to organize and underwrite deals, plus a calculator he helped develop for fast, actionable financials in co-living projects.
EP 13 - Invoice Authorization: The Co-Living Buyer's Secret Weapon
Q: When is it best to introduce the invoice authorization in the deal window—before appraisal or after?
It depends on the deal, but generally it's best to have a plan before appraisal. If you can secure an authorization that supports a higher purchase price and appraises at that level, you can maximize returns; if the appraisal comes in lower, you adjust the numbers accordingly.
EP 13 - Invoice Authorization: The Co-Living Buyer's Secret Weapon
Q: So what is an invoice authorization and how can it help investors?
It's an addendum that allows the seller to pay a contractor directly at closing for renovation work, effectively increasing the purchase price to cover renovations while keeping the buyer's out-of-pocket low. It's deployable at different stages of a deal to capture concessions or discounts and improve cash-on-cash returns.
EP 9 - How Alfredo Scaled to 800 Co-Living Doors in 12 Months (Systems, Ops & Strategy)
Q: What's one tool or system you use in your business that you couldn't live without?
Claude AI serves as a right-hand employee for drafting responses, creating flyers, coding tasks, and brainstorming features, enabling rapid product and process development with strong automation and coding capabilities.
EP 8 - Co-Living Operations Explained: Lessons from Managing 400+ Rooms
Q: Under what conditions should someone consider PadSplit versus off-path split, especially for a first property?
Dave suggests PadSplit works well when there is a strong pipeline or connection to a specific audience (e.g., veterans, military bases) and mass-market demand, whereas off-path split can be viable if a clear, scalable pipeline exists and you can standardize processes across markets.
