Turn One House Into 28 Doors with Co-Living w/ Katrina E. Robinson
Description
Katrina Robinson breaks down how co-living turns a single-family home into 28 doors — and how investors can 10X rental income without buying more properties.
In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Katrina E. Robinson, founder of Group Home on Autopilot and Round Table Living, to break down the co-living model that's helping real estate investors maximize income on existing properties while solving the affordable housing crisis.
Katrina covers:
- Why renting by the bed vs. by the house can generate 10X the profit on a single property
- How she went from 3 properties to 28 doors using shared housing
- The detailed intake process for vetting residents and maintaining house harmony
- What Texas's 2025 legal definition of "group home" means for co-living investors
- Property requirements: bedrooms, bathrooms, and public transit access
- Managing difficult residents — including a near-elder-abuse saga
- The Kenya case study: from zero to two houses open in 5 months
- Why military-style SOPs are the foundation of scaling this business
- PadSplit, SpareRoom, Roomies, and 101+ ways to fill your beds
