For owners of 3+ bedroom homes, partnering with a coliving operator can dramatically outperform a standard whole-house lease. Here's why, and what to look for in a partner.
Higher yield, per square metre
A traditional lease yields one fortnightly rent. A coliving house yields per-room rent multiplied across all rooms. After management fees, owners typically see 20-40% more net income.
Reduced vacancy risk
If one tenant in a whole-house lease leaves, the rent stops. In coliving, each room is independently leased, one move-out doesn't break the cashflow.
Professional management included
A good coliving operator handles inspections, maintenance dispatch, tenant communications, and bills. Owners get a single monthly statement and a single point of contact.
What to look for in a partner
Track record, transparent fee structure, proper insurance, and a willingness to share house performance reports. Avoid operators who won't show you the numbers.
