Should You Add Coliving to Your Portfolio | Coliving as an Investment Strategy

In today’s MAREI PartnerCast, Johnny Wolff, the CEO of HomeRoom explains why you need to take a look at coliving either as an Investment or as an Affordable Housing Solution.

Johnny started his career in Finance in Silicon Valley after college. Finding that he wanted to buy a house but could not afford one in Silicon Valley, he started house hacking and taking on roommates. In that process of finding a way to effectively find roommates and collect rents from different renters, he founded HomeRoom.

Not quite the returns of an Airbnb, but much less labor-intensive and with fewer turnovers, less wear and tear on your home, CoLiving can be a much better profit proposition that a standard rental.

HomeRoom, one of the fastest-growing co-living companies in the US, serves a few markets and is seeking to expand as the demand for affordable housing increases. Find out who the typical renter is, what you need in amenities, how they match roommates, and more on today’s episode. You schedule a call with Johnny and his team at https://livehomeroom.com/invest to explore options of acquiring a property or converting a property you already own. Be sure to let them know you saw him on the MAREI PartnerCast!

CEO/Founder of HomeRoom Coliving

Johnny Wolff is the CEO and Founder of HomeRoom Coliving – one of the fastest-growing coliving companies in the United States. After starting his career as a financial analyst in Silicon Valley (EA, SanDisk, Guidespark), he relocated to Austin, Texas to pursue real estate investing full-time. His love for real estate investing and living with roommates motivated him to start HomeRoom in 2017, after an unusually terrible Craigslist roommate experience. In 2020, HomeRoom boasted 99% on-time rent payments, full occupancy, and zero evictions. Sales velocity for HomeRoom is up 300% in 2021 with hundreds of happy residents across 23 cities in 3 states.

Powered by investor funds, HomeRoom recently expanded to Dallas and Austin, Texas. Johnny still lives in one of HomeRoom’s first coliving houses in Kansas City and enjoys hanging out and surviving the pandemic with his awesome roommates - especially on chicken wing Thursdays.
