Most investors chase every new real estate trend they can find…
What they forget is the age-old saying that “the money is in the unglamorous…”
And the unglamorous truth about Co-Living, the highest-yielding asset class in real estate, is that the sheer scarcity of the high-end opportunities is the entire game.
That’s why every month, in which we shortlist Co-Living opportunities across Australia…
We only select the 5 properties that make these criteria:
1. We Only Look Where Demand Already Exists… And Supply Doesn’t
Our research process is deliberately narrow. We only shortlist suburbs where:
There are 10,000+ people who fit the co-living tenant profile: single, high-income and priced out of buying residential homes over the next 1-3 years.
We only work with infill, established suburbs with long-term sustainable potential.
There are currently just 0–2 Co-Living Properties operating in the area
That last point is what makes the difference. It means the investors who get into these suburbs first aren’t competing for tenants: they’re the only real option for them.
It’s also why our current portfolio, consisting of more than 400 rooms, runs at 99% occupancy, with typically only five rooms vacant at any given time across the entire portfolio.
2. We Only Work With High-End Co-Living
The properties we select aren’t converted share houses.
They’re purpose-built, high-end Co-Living assets, positioned at the top end of the market: the kind of product that lets us hold premium tenants that can pay up to $500/week per co-living studio.
That positioning is how our hand-picked opportunities sit toward the upper end of 9–12% yield, while still holding long-term capital growth potential:
Because we’re buying in still-growing suburbs before the supply catches up to demand.
3. We Shortlist The 5 Highest-Yielding Properties
The truth is, we could stretch our selection further.
There are plenty of Co-Living opportunities on the market in Australia…
But the more thin we spread our expert team, the less we would focus on the 180-point due diligence system we have that singles out the ‘Goldilocks’ 9–11% yield Co-Living Opportunities.
If we go beyond 5 properties per month, we’d have to compromise on the hours of research we out into each opportunity.
Because, unfortunately, most opportunities fail our 180-point tests: either the yield is strong but the growth story isn’t there, or the suburb has capital growth potential but the Co-Living demand hasn’t matured yet.
We’d rather identify 5 10/10 opportunities, than 8 8/10 or 10 7/10 opportunities. Properties we’d put our own money into.
