Introducing CoLivingScore: Free Market Analysis Tools for Co-Living Operators
Free Market Analysis Tools for Co-Living Operators
If you are evaluating a property for co-living — or trying to figure out whether a market makes sense before you commit capital — I built a tool for that.
CoLivingScore is a free platform designed specifically for US-based co-living investors and operators. It is built around the same decision discipline I write about in my articles: no invented data, no generic advice, and no hand-waving about “housing demand” as a substitute for real analysis.
What It Does
CoLiving Score is the core tool. Enter an address and a handful of property details and receive a 0–100 score, a property audit with color-coded warnings, estimated gross and net monthly income, and specific suggestions for improvement. Free and unlimited.
Furnishing Estimator calculates startup furnishing costs scaled to your bedroom and bathroom count — required items and optional upgrades separately — so you know what you are actually committing to before you sign.
Pro Analysis Report is the paid product. A lender-ready, operator-focused market analysis built from your property inputs. Covers local housing market conditions, target tenant profile, demand drivers, competitive analysis, a 12-month pro forma, debt service coverage ratio, break-even occupancy, and more — generated in under 60 seconds.
Tenant type drives the entire report. Traveling nurses, workforce housing, sober living, and 55-plus residents each produce meaningfully different outputs across every section, because those markets are genuinely different and deserve analysis that reflects that.
Why I Built It
When I started evaluating co-living markets, I found plenty of global market sizing reports and platform marketing dressed up as research. What I could not find was a straightforward, property-specific, tenant-type-specific analysis tool built for the US small-scale operator — someone evaluating a three-to-five bedroom house in a specific submarket, not managing 500 beds across three continents.
CoLivingScore fills that gap. Every figure in the output traces to a user input or a documented default. Nothing is invented. That matters when the output is going in front of a lender, a partner, or a private investor.
