Know if a house will cash flow as co-living — before you make an offer.

Renting a house by the room can earn 40–80% more than renting it whole. But only if the layout works, the rooms comp out, and the conversion math is honest. Weston gives you the full answer in minutes.

Four answers before you write an offer.

Every co-living decision comes down to four questions. Weston answers all of them in one report — clearly enough to act on, complete enough to defend.

01 / Confidence

Will this house actually work as co-living?

We check the floor plan, bedroom count, bathroom share, and common-area tradeoffs. You see the maximum number of rooms the property supports — and whether it’s worth pursuing in the first place.

02 / Higher cash flow

How much more cash flow can you unlock?

We pull room-level comps from nearby shared housing and adjust for private bath, size, furnishing, and condition. You see realistic per-room rent and total monthly cash flow — not market averages.

03 / Right financing

Which financing path protects your return?

We run conventional, cash, subject-to, and bridge-to-refi side by side on the same deal. You see which structure delivers the strongest cash-on-cash and DSCR — and which one quietly kills your yield.

04 / Move with confidence

What could go wrong before close?

Permit risk, bath-share limits, comp confidence, and operational complexity are flagged on the front page of every report. You move forward knowing exactly what you still need to verify.

Why Weston for coliving.

Rank the layout, not just the address.

Weston creates session-scoped conversion scenarios from the original rooms, then ranks each layout by incremental return on conversion capital.

Room-level rent and cost logic.

Income is modeled by bedroom, bath access, and market source. Conversion costs come from catalog line items plus custom review rows, not a flat per-room guess.

A report you can defend and edit.

Every important value carries source, confidence, and version history. Edit price, rent, rooms, costs, or financing and rerun the scenario without rebuilding the model.

See the same sections your finished dashboard shows.

Weston ranks physical conversion scenarios first, then lets you drill into room income, conversion costs, financing stacks, cash-flow projections, risks, edits, and the investor PDF.
