A few things worth knowing

Your questions,
answered.

Scope, ownership, timing, and whether a custom build makes sense for your portfolio.

What is a Coliving Investor OS?

A Coliving Investor OS is a custom AI system built for coliving and rent-by-room investors with 5+ properties. It connects the tools, data and decisions already running your portfolio - property manager updates, documents, your inbox, task lists and your acquisition pipeline - into one system, so you stop being the integration layer between them.

How much does a custom build cost?

Builds start at $1,500. What it costs depends on how many tools need connecting and how many properties you run. Final scope and price are set on the discovery call, and you get a written proposal with fixed scope and fixed price before any work begins. It is a one-time build cost, not a subscription.

How long does a build take?

Two to eight weeks depending on scope. A single focused automation lands at the short end, a full system across a larger portfolio at the long end. Every build runs on fixed scope and fixed price, and you see mockups before anything gets coded.

Do I own the system, or is it a subscription?

You own it. The logic, the data and the access are yours. There are no seat fees and no lock-in, and nothing stops working if we stop talking.

How many properties do I need before this makes sense?

It is built for investors with 5 or more coliving or rent-by-room properties, or those growing toward it. A portfolio of 5 to 7 in a single market usually starts with one focused build. Portfolios of 15 or more across multiple states usually need a full system.

Do I have to learn a new dashboard or replace the tools I already use?

No. Your Coliving Investor OS lives where you already work: daily briefs land in your inbox, decisions get logged through whatever chat tool you already use, and your portfolio view opens in a browser tab. It connects to your existing stack, including QuickBooks, PadSplit exports, your bank and your property manager reports.

What happens on the discovery call?

It is free and takes 30 minutes. We map your portfolio, your stack and your biggest pain points, and pinpoint where AI fits and where it does not. You leave with a prioritized list of opportunities scored by impact and effort. There is no commitment to build - the roadmap is yours either way.

What if I only want one problem solved rather than a full build?

Working sessions are $200 an hour with a two hour minimum. We tackle one specific workflow together: automate a recurring task, set up an AI assistant for a focused job, or pressure-test an idea before committing to a full build. Most clients book two to three sessions.
