    My son is renting rooms in NJ and is killing it. It’s a great model. This video is helpful to repackage as members as the laws are changing. I plan to sell a property and buy another property for co- living.

    I've never commented on UA-cam before, but I felt like I needed to on this one. I have done one co-living property so far in Virgina with a fellow subto member, and we were cited by the city. We purchased a 4 bedroom property and added an additional 2 rooms, but per their zoning laws, we could not have more than 4 non-related persons living in a SFH. After going through extensive litigation, we were forced to reduce our occupancy down to no more than 4 non-related persons, which drastically reduced cash flow. They did not care whether the occupants were classified as tenants or members. We tried to go the route of getting a conditional use permit, but even after our lawyer had multiple conversations with the county, they informed us they would deny it if filed. I am the PML on the deal and, unfortunately, live in California. Where I live, I have checked with the county, and they have informed me there is no issue using this model. My advice would be to check with the county before doing this model to save yourself the headache.

      I live in College Station, TX which is the where Texas A&M is at. Every co-living website like pad-split and etc doesn't have any properties in my area. I would love to turn my two long term rentals into co-living but am just not sure if anybody else is doing it plus I would need a management company to fill the rooms for me because I travel for work. Any thoughts or help?

      How would you create a cold living member Contract in the state of New Jersey specifically in Bergen county where you cannot rent a dwelling for less than 30 days, so how do we find out if a property of six bedrooms can be converted into a cold living space? I cannot find any information for this specific subject. in the Bergen County municipal court website, etc..

    For ppl who say they wouldn't live in co-living, I am sure at some point had a roommate or their parents charged them rent. Even living with family is this kind of model. I live with my brother and oldest daughter, and we split the rent. My daughter lived with her friend and rent was split. So ppl do it all the time.

    Some CA cities (particularly beach cities) are a bit over-eager to enforce occupancy requirements, and membership vs. renter distinction might not be appreciated by your local 80-year old neighbor who spends all his free time writing complaint letters from his AOL account. It never occurs to anyone complaining, of course, that the alternative to lower-income housing is people living in their cars or under the freeway, and that's PROBABLY worse for your valuation than a pad share next door. I imagine the solution to this is either (1) take your chances with the grouchy neighbor and room-temp IQ city enforcement officer, or (2) only buy rent-by-room properties in cities that aren't actively trying to push their populations into homelessness.

  • @Omar_azre
    @Omar_azre 17 днів тому +3

    Hmmm I’m not sure about that reasoning in the first few minutes. I’m a land use and zoning lawyer and from my experience you can’t circumvent zoning through your own private agreements. In other words if the zoning code says a max of 6 unrelated individuals can live in a home, the city will not care that you don’t have a lease or you have some kind of contract that says they’re “members”. I dealt with a situation in an Arizona city where the client tried to say their use wasn’t a group home by their definition. In the end it didn’t matter, because it was a group home under the CITY’s definition. Of course I could be wrong, just my experience. It’s possible cities haven’t fully reviewed this yet. I’d be curious if anyone has asked a city to provide a formal zoning determination letter. That would clear this up.

    Are you required to obtain the correct certificate of occupancy (rooming house) and fire permit that states how many unrelated persons are allowed to live in the dwelling with PadSplit? Or does the “membership” loophole squash that? I do rooming houses/sober living/ behavioral health in Baltimore and getting the correct use is a headache. We’re usually required to install a fire/sprinkler system for our properties. Who can I reach out to to get more info on this membership thing?

      @ the rule of thumb is the 4 rooms cover the mortgage, the 5th room covers utilities and beyond that it’s cashflow.
