Best for
Investors comfortable with operator-managed assets and yield-led portfolios.
Thesis
Architect-designed shared dwellings producing yields a standard rental can't match.
Co-living converts inner-metro land into 4–6 income streams under one title. Premium operators handle bookings; investors capture 7–9% gross with strong demographic tailwinds from rental-affordability collapse.
Why now
CRA increases (50%+ since 2022) support tenant demand at the base of market.
Build-to-Rent attention has thinned the boutique competitor pool.
