How Co-Living Is Reshaping Urban Rental Markets in 2026

Co-living has evolved from a millennial fad into a $2.4 billion asset class, with operators like Common and Ollie now managing over 50,000 units globally. Lucas and Luna dig into the economics: how co-living achieves 30% higher revenue per square foot than traditional multifamily, why vacancy rates run under 5% even in softening markets, and what happens when cities start regulating shared housing. They examine Common's recent expansion into Chicago's Fulton Market and the demographic shift driving demand—remote workers in their 30s and 40s who want flexibility without the roommate chaos. If you've wondered whether co-living actually pencils out as an investment, this episode gives you the numbers behind the model. #CoLiving #RealEstate #MultifamilyInvesting #CommonLiving #OllieHousing #UrbanHousing #SharedEconomy #RentalMarket #PropertyManagement #REITs #FlexibleHousing #WorkFromAnywhere #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #RealEstateInvesting #HousingTrends #2026Markets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
