A cardiologist scaled to seven co-living homes across East and West Atlanta. Each was bought under $350K with 20% down, converted to 7–9 rentable rooms at $650–$850 each, and now cash flows $2,000–$3,000 a month — a portfolio throwing off roughly $14,000 to $21,000 every month.

Co-living, by the room

A pharmacist in Smyrna runs two strategies under one roof: four co-living residents upstairs and a short-term Airbnb rental on the two-bedroom lower level. That's house hacking done right — stacking co-living and short-term-rental income in the same property to squeeze the most out of every square foot.

Co-living + STR house hack

A first-time investor bought a six-bedroom home for $250K with 20% down — about a $1,000 monthly mortgage. Run as an all-women co-living home at $650–$700 per room, it brings in roughly $4,000 a month in gross rent and cash flows comfortably from the start. Proof that co-living works on your very first deal.
