Shared Living Lab

Shared Living Lab is a networking and education event designed for individuals who are operating, launching, or investing in shared living and independent housing models—and want to do it the right way.

This event brings together shared living operators, real estate investors, property owners, realtors, lenders, and placement partners to explore what it really takes to run sustainable shared housing and build long-term real estate value.

Whether you’re filling beds, managing properties, or looking to acquire your next shared living asset, this Lab is built to connect operations and ownership under one roof.

This session focuses on the real-world fundamentals of shared living as both a housing business and a real estate strategy, including:

• The current shared living landscape and market realities
• Common mistakes new operators make (and how to avoid them)
• How operations directly impact property performance and value
• The relationship between full beds, cash flow, and long-term ownership
• When to lease, when to buy, and how operators can transition to owners

This is not a sales pitch and not theory-based learning. Expect candid conversations, practical insight, and honest discussion from people actively working in the space.

• Shared living / independent living operators
• Individuals exploring shared housing as a business
• Real estate investors interested in shared living models
• Property owners considering shared living use
• Realtors, lenders, and housing professionals supporting operators

Whether you are brand new or already operating, you’ll leave with clarity, connections, and a better understanding of how to move forward.

• Welcome & industry overview
• Case study discussion
• Panel conversation with operators and real estate professionals
• Guided group discussion
• Structured networking

Shared Living Lab is the first in a series of ongoing sessions and deep-dive workshops covering:

• Buying and scaling shared living real estate

Attendees will receive early access to future Lab sessions and full-day trainings.
