Great cash flow is hard to come by in this market, but fortunately, there’s a strategy that can help you maximize your property’s rentable space and profits. In this episode, we’ll show you how to convert your own rental property for co-living or renting-by-the-room!

Welcome to another Rookie Reply! Tony and guest co-host Garrett Brown are diving back into the BiggerPockets Forums, and first up, we have a question about one of 2025’s up-and-coming strategies—co-living. This rookie investor wants to maximize the amount of cash flow their property can earn, so we’ll steer them in the right direction with the best arrangement and profitable value-add ideas!

Then, we’ll hear from an investor who already has their investing strategy and financing lined up but can’t decide where to invest. We’ll share some crucial market analysis advice and some potentially property-saving tips for managing their rental from afar. Stick around till the end for a question we’ve never been “axed” before, which involves a dangerous short-term rental amenity and potential lawsuit!
