概要

Co-living is one of the most misunderstood, and highest-potential, ​ strategies in residential real estate investing. Most investors hear the buzzwords, see the cash-flow claims, and immediately assume it’s either too risky, too operationally intense, or too complicated to scale. The truth is simpler: coliving work exceptionally well when built on systems, governed by operational clarity, and executed like a real business, not a side hustle. The Co-Living Show exists to make that clarity accessible for serious professionals who want smarter returns without gambling on guesswork.


Hosted by BiggerPockets authors Craig Curelop and Miller McSwain, The Co-Living Show goes far beyond surface-level real estate content. This is the only real estate investing podcast dedicated exclusively to the economics, operations, regulations, and strategic frameworks that drive high-density co-living and shared housing at scale. Whether you’re new to the model or a high-earning, time-poor professional seeking exposure to a sophisticated cash-flow real estate strategy without becoming an operator, this show delivers the confidence, understanding, and insight needed to invest intelligently.


Each episode takes you inside the real-world systems behind co-living performance. You’ll hear from operators running multi-market portfolios, attorneys specializing in zoning and compliance, designers who understand space optimization and profitability, lenders financing room-by-room rental strategies, and property managers and city officials shaping the future of affordable housing innovation. You’ll also hear from the Co-Living Cash Flow Community, everyday investors solving operational challenges and executing the exact frameworks discussed on the show.

There is no fluff here. No hype. No motivational noise. Every conversation is grounded in data, regulatory insight, operational logic, and investor-level clarity. Co-living is not “passive income.” It’s not a shortcut. It’s a system. And systems — when executed correctly — produce scalable, predictable returns that outperform traditional rental models. This is not speculative theory. It’s cash-flow real estate strategy in action.


Craig brings acquisitions, underwriting, and market strategy. Miller brings operations, pricing systems, and standardization frameworks that make coliving scalable. Together, they deliver an operator’s perspective of an asset class most investors only see from the outside. As BiggerPockets authors, educators, and practitioners, they simplify complexity without diluting truth: coliving works, but only when done correctly.


You’ll hear underwriting breakdowns, operator case studies, deal teardowns, regulatory realities, tenant strategy, market analysis, and the economic logic behind high-density residential investing. You’ll learn how to invest passively, partner with experienced operators, or simply understand the business model in depth, even if you never plan to manage a property yourself.


The Co-Living Show does not claim co-living works.
It proves when, why, and under what conditions it works.


If you want confidence instead of conjecture, systems instead of speculation, and clarity instead of chaos, this is your source of truth for professional-grade residential real estate investing.


Subscribe and join thousands of investors building deeper understanding, stronger portfolios, and smarter strategies, without wasting time on noise.


This is the future of residential real estate investing. And now you’ll finally understand how it works.

  • EP 3 - How Tanner Bought a $1.3M Property With Just $5K Down
    2026/02/25

    In this tactical episode of The Co-Living Show, hosts Miller McSwain and Craig Curelop sit down with Colorado investor and agent Tanner Pyle to unpack one of the most creative deals you’ll hear this year:

    👉 A $1.3 million property
    👉 Structured with owner financing
    👉 Acquired with just $5,000 out of pocket

    But this episode goes far beyond the headline.

    Tanner breaks down exactly how he negotiated the seller financing, how he structured the down payment, and what made the deal work in a rising interest rate environment. You’ll hear the real numbers — mortgage, utilities, renovation costs, and how the property performs as a short-term rental.

    Then the conversation shifts into deeper operator-level strategy:

    • When short-term rentals outperform co-living (and when they don’t)
    • Why parking can make or break a co-living deal
    • How garages can create hidden cash flow (storage, ADUs, or conversion plays)
    • The screening mistake that cost Tanner and why “don’t be a charity” matters
    • “Speed to lead” and how to fill rooms faster
    • Why mixing strategies too early can slow your scaling
    • How to find a true investor-friendly (and co-living-aware) agent in your market

    This episode is for serious operators, not dreamers.

    If you’re analyzing deals, house hacking, or scaling into co-living, this one is packed with execution-level insights.

  • EP 2 - CoLiving Cait: The Systems, The Stories, The Reality
    2026/02/18

    In this episode of The Co-Living Show, Craig Curelop and Miller McSwain sit down with Caitlyn Verdugo — aka Co-Living Cait — an Atlanta-based co-living agent, investor, operator, capital raiser, and coach who’s been in the space since the early PadSplit days.

    Atlanta is one of the most mature co-living ecosystems in the U.S., and Caitlyn has seen the model evolve from “rent-by-the-room” experiments into a real operating business. She shares what she’s learned from acquiring and running co-living homes, how she approaches conversions (including garage builds), and why she intentionally designs each house to feel like a home — not a template.

    This conversation is packed with operator-level nuance: screening beyond platform checks, searching local eviction records, managing resident conflict without becoming a mediator, and how to build systems that protect your time while improving resident experience.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    • Caitlyn’s origin story: real estate agent → house hacker → co-living operator
    • How she used her real estate commission creatively to reduce money needed to buy
    • Why Atlanta’s market maturity makes PadSplit a major factor in marketing + leasing
    • Lessons from her first co-living conversion (capital gaps, holding costs, and what she’d do differently)
    • What she looks for in co-living properties: layouts, vintage builds, no HOA, conversion potential
    • Garage conversions: HVAC strategies, insulation, code risks, and payback vs. “ROI” framing
    • Her signature approach: naming houses + themed rooms to enhance resident experience
    • The screening stack: forms, interviews, and why she checks eviction records manually
    • How she prevents resident conflict with boundaries, addendums, and expectations
    • Handling tenant-landlord conflict fast (and why respect is non-negotiable)
    • Women in co-living: safety realities, contractor dynamics, and solving problems differently
    • Building She Leads Co-Living / Wealth By The Room to support women operators
    • How to find operators in your market (Facebook groups, meetups, and “search within groups” strategy)
    • The Big 3: a tenant horror story, her first house rule, and her most valuable operating system

  • EP 1 - Why We Built The Co-Living Show (And What Most Investors Miss)
    2026/02/11

    Welcome to Episode 1 of The Co-Living Show — where hosts Craig Curelop and Miller McSwain break down how to build real cash flow with room-by-room rentals.

    In this first full episode, we lay the foundation:
    Why co-living is misunderstood, what most investors get wrong, and how Craig + Miller approach the strategy from two different seats — growth + acquisitions (Craig) and operations + systems (Miller). You’ll also hear their personal stories, how Miller scaled to 7 properties / 51 rooms, why networking changed everything, and how this partnership (and podcast) came to be.

    No hype. No fluff. Just the real numbers, renovations, zoning, and operations behind co-living.
