In this episode, I’m the one being interviewed, and I share how I accidentally stumbled into coliving back in 2011, started renting out a few spare rooms, and eventually reached financial freedom by age 23. What began as a simple way to avoid paying rent has now grown into more than 1,500 coliving doors between my own properties and the investors I mentor. ----more---- We get into the real side of coliving. Not the hype, but the actual systems that make it work. How to turn a regular house into a high-performing mini business, what I look for in great tenants, how to keep a home clean, quiet, and safe, and so much more. And yes, the messy stuff too like regulations, late rent, housemate conflict, and those small problems that can turn into big ones if you do not have a plan. ----more---- If you want financial freedom with coliving real estate and you want a realistic look at how to make it sustainable instead of stressful, this conversation will give you a solid head start. I share what I did right, what I wish I knew earlier, and why I believe owning real estate is one of the best ways to protect yourself in an inflation-heavy world. ----more---- Listen to the Awakened Titans Podcast on Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/awakened-titans-podcast-lily-patrascu/id1754798554  Listen to the Awakened Titans Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6PScPtVnWntBmtl5ANlo1h  ----more---- Connect with Sam Wegert: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samwegert/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@scaleyourrealestate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SamWegertRealEstate  Join the 5-Day CoLiving Real Estate Challenge: https://www.scaleyourrealestate.com
