Audrey from PadSplit returns to break down the top trends of 2025, real case studies (Raleigh, Charlotte), and the exact changes high-performing PadSplit operators are making to scale occupancy and cash-flow. If you want to learn how converting a 3-bed to a 7-bed can multiply NOI, how to underwrite co-living correctly, what to budget per room, and the insurance solution that just launched — this is the episode. What you’ll learn in this video: How simple reconfigurations can turn a break-even rental into a high-performing asset (3→7 beds case study). Occupancy & tenure best practices (PadSplit target: ~90% occupancy). Furnishing budget guidance: plan $800–$1,000 per room for competitive staging. Insurance update: new co-living policies available nationwide (liability + property). Top product upgrades for retention (desk + en-suite = wins). Buy-box & market guidance: inner-ring suburbs near transit often perform best. Operational playbook: 3-step remote rollout, house rules, cameras policy, and the 3-strike enforcement model. Pricing strategy to lease fast: list first rooms slightly under market and use automated promos.
