Real Properties. Real Experience.A Proven Coliving Approach.

I don't teach coliving from a textbook.

I've bought, developed, operated, and optimized real properties across different markets and resident populations.

My portfolio includes student housing in Davis, sober living homes in Garden Grove, and a PadSplit-style coliving property in Phoenix, each with a different resident profile, operating strategy, and value-creation opportunity.

These properties have taught me how to evaluate:

  • Market demand
  • Property acquisition opportunities
  • Creative ways to increase income
  • Value-add development
  • Resident screening and retention
  • Property operations and systems
  • Remote management
  • Future expansion opportunities

Most importantly, they've helped me develop a repeatable way of looking at residential real estate:

  1. Find the demand
  2. Acquire the right property
  3. Design the right model
  4. Operate efficiently
  5. Create additional value

As I continue to expand my real estate portfolio, I am also exploring opportunities to partner with private investors who want to participate in carefully selected residential real estate investments.

My goal is to bring the same hands-on underwriting, operational discipline, and value-creation mindset to future properties that I have applied to my own portfolio.
