Why Your Rental Isn’t Making Money & How Co-Living Strategy Can Triple It |Ep 60 Christiane Silveira

Think big city rentals are too expensive or impossible to cash flow? Think again. Co-living is quietly changing the game for real estate investors, letting them maximize income from homes that might otherwise sit empty.  

In this episode, we break down the strategy that takes a standard single-family home earning $1,600/month and turns it into $4,700/month through smart layout changes, proper tenant screening, and strategic management.  

You’ll hear about the challenges, wins, and real-world tips that make this approach both practical and profitable - even for investors who thought the big city market was out of reach.  

Whether you’re looking for ways to increase cash flow, create affordable housing, or just rethink your rental strategy, this episode is packed with insights and behind-the-scenes details you won’t find anywhere else.  

🎧 Watch now and get inspired to make your properties work harder for you.
