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. The truth is simpler: coliving work exceptionally well when built on systems, governed by operational clarity, and executed like a real business, not a side hustle. The Co-Living Show exists to make that clarity accessible for serious professionals who want smarter returns without gambling on guesswork.
​
​
Hosted by BiggerPockets authors Craig Curelop and Miller McSwain, The Co-Living Show goes far beyond surface-level real estate content. This is the only real estate investing podcast dedicated exclusively to the economics, operations, regulations, and strategic frameworks that drive high-density co-living and shared housing at scale. Whether you’re new to the model or a high-earning, time-poor professional seeking exposure to a sophisticated cash-flow real estate strategy without becoming an operator, this show delivers the confidence, understanding, and insight needed to invest intelligently.
​
​
Each episode takes you inside the real-world systems behind co-living performance. You’ll hear from operators running multi-market portfolios, attorneys specializing in zoning and compliance, designers who understand space optimization and profitability, lenders financing room-by-room rental strategies, and property managers and city officials shaping the future of affordable housing innovation. You’ll also hear from the Co-Living Cash Flow Community, everyday investors solving operational challenges and executing the exact frameworks discussed on the show.

​
There is no fluff here. No hype. No motivational noise. Every conversation is grounded in data, regulatory insight, operational logic, and investor-level clarity. Co-living is not “passive income.” It’s not a shortcut. It’s a system. And systems — when executed correctly — produce scalable, predictable returns that outperform traditional rental models. This is not speculative theory. It’s cash-flow real estate strategy in action.
​
​
Craig brings acquisitions, underwriting, and market strategy. Miller brings operations, pricing systems, and standardization frameworks that make coliving scalable. Together, they deliver an operator’s perspective of an asset class most investors only see from the outside. As BiggerPockets authors, educators, and practitioners, they simplify complexity without diluting truth: coliving works, but only when done correctly.
​
​
You’ll hear underwriting breakdowns, operator case studies, deal teardowns, regulatory realities, tenant strategy, market analysis, and the economic logic behind high-density residential investing. You’ll learn how to invest passively, partner with experienced operators, or simply understand the business model in depth, even if you never plan to manage a property yourself.
​
​
The Co-Living Show does not claim co-living works.
It proves when, why, and under what conditions it works.
​
​
If you want confidence instead of conjecture, systems instead of speculation, and clarity instead of chaos, this is your source of truth for professional-grade residential real estate investing.
​
​
Subscribe and join thousands of investors building deeper understanding, stronger portfolios, and smarter strategies, without wasting time on noise.
​
​
This is the future of residential real estate investing. And now you’ll finally understand how it works.

  • EP 34 - Build With the Exit in Mind: Co-Living Resale with Josh Stanton
    Oct 1 2026

    Build With the Exit in Mind: Co-Living Resale with Josh Stanton

    Most co-living investors spend a lot of time thinking about how to buy a property, renovate it, fill the rooms, and maximize cash flow.

    But what happens when it’s time to sell?

    In this episode of The Co-Living Show, Craig Curelop and Miller McSwain sit down with Josh Stanton, a longtime co-living investor and real estate agent in Atlanta who has been involved with PadSplit since its earliest days.

    Josh started with a simple house hack, buying a home and renting rooms to lower his own housing costs. That eventually led him into co-living, where he became one of PadSplit’s earliest hosts and began helping other investors buy, operate, and eventually sell co-living properties.

    The conversation goes deep into one side of co-living that does not get discussed enough: the exit.

    Josh explains why the decisions you make during your renovation can have a major impact on your resale options later. Adding bedrooms may increase cash flow, but unusual layouts, eliminated common areas, unpermitted square footage, and financing complications can make a property much harder to sell.

    They also discuss appraisal challenges, finding lenders who understand co-living, selling occupied properties, creating comps for the industry, and what Josh learned from helping sell everything from individual PadSplits to large co-living portfolios.

    In this episode:

    • How Josh went from house hacking to becoming an early PadSplit host
    • Why you should think about resale before starting your renovation
    • How property configuration can affect your eventual sale price
    • What makes a co-living property harder for lenders and appraisers to understand
    • Why permitting matters, especially when adding finished square footage
    • When a high-performing co-living property may command a premium
    • How Josh has sold occupied co-living properties
    • Lessons from selling co-living portfolios
    • How to position a co-living property for investors
    • Why having co-living-savvy lenders, appraisers, and agents matters

    Josh has also been building a network of real estate agents who understand co-living so investors can connect with knowledgeable professionals in markets around the country.

  • EP 33 - Everything Co-Living Investors Need to Know About Financing | Jeffrey Weller
    Sep 24 2026

    Financing a co-living property can get complicated fast—especially when traditional lenders, underwriters, and appraisers don’t fully understand the model.

    In this episode of The Co-Living Show, Miller McSwain and Craig Curelop sit down with Jeffrey Weller, CEO of Coast 2 Coast Mortgage, to break down what co-living investors need to know about financing their properties.

    Jeff shares how his own experience buying and converting a PadSplit led him to recognize the challenges investors face when trying to finance room-rental properties. That experience eventually pushed him deeper into developing lending solutions specifically for co-living and PadSplit investors.

    The conversation covers everything from acquisitions and renovations to appraisals, DSCR loans, refinancing, master leases, individual room leases, BRRRR strategies, and what investors should look for when choosing a lender.

    They also discuss:

    • How Jeff went from electrical engineering to mortgage lending and real estate investing
    • What happened when Jeff converted his first property into an eight-bedroom PadSplit
    • Why appraisals can become one of the biggest obstacles in co-living financing
    • How experienced co-living lenders approach appraiser panels
    • Why some traditional lenders reject co-living and room-rental properties
    • PadSplit-specific loans versus other co-living financing structures
    • Master leases versus individual room leases
    • How investors can prepare for underwriting and appraisal
    • Financing large bedroom-count properties
    • Using the BRRRR strategy with co-living conversions
    • How bedroom counts, closets, basements, kitchens, and flex spaces can affect an appraisal
    • Questions investors should ask before choosing a lender
    • Where Jeff believes co-living lending is headed as the model becomes more mainstream
    • Why building a team of professionals who actually understand co-living can save investors significant time and frustration

    Whether you're buying your first rent-by-the-room property or already operating a larger co-living portfolio, this episode provides a detailed look at how the financing side of the business actually works.

  • EP 32 - From House Hacker to 56 Rooms: How Networking Built Yoni Kaszynski’s Co-Living Business
    Sep 16 2026

    Yoni Kaszynski is back on The Co-Living Show nearly a year after his first appearance — and a lot has changed.

    What started with a house hack has grown into a 56-room co-living operation across properties he owns and manages in the Seattle area. Along the way, Yoni has expanded beyond simply buying properties into real estate sales, consulting, property services, and helping other investors launch their own co-living homes.

    In this episode, Yoni joins Miller McSwain and Craig Curelop to break down what changed as he scaled — including his decision to finally give PadSplit a try after operating his first properties independently.

    They discuss:

    • How Yoni grew from house hacking to 30 owned rooms and 26 managed rooms
    • Why networking became one of the biggest drivers of his growth
    • His transition from off-PadSplit operations to using PadSplit
    • PadSplit vs. running your own co-living systems
    • Lead generation, resident acquisition, pricing, fees, and operational control
    • Why larger bedroom counts can be necessary in expensive markets like Washington
    • Screening residents and how Yoni uses Forewarn
    • The opportunities he found in property services, consulting, and real estate sales
    • Lessons from difficult contractors
    • Leaving the W-2 world and building a full-time real estate career

    Yoni’s story is a great example of how relationships, reputation, and being willing to rethink your systems can open up new opportunities as a co-living business grows.
