Find the right house and lock in the lease with confidence. This bundle of five documents walks you through the biggest steps in opening a shared housing business, from choosing the property to winning over the owner and securing the lease, using the same tools SOS Housing has used to open more than 20 homes.
What's included:
Guide to Finding Your Shared Housing Property: a practical framework with clear criteria for evaluating properties for shared housing, co-living, and group homes, plus a property location checklist so key factors are not overlooked.
Checklist for Finding a House: a practical tool for comparing properties and evaluating the crucial details before you decide, so your choice aligns with your goals.
Landlord Benefits Checklist: Why Owners Should Rent to Shared Housing Operators: walk into your landlord meeting prepared. This checklist shows property owners why a shared housing operator can be their best tenant, built around what owners want most: rent paid on time, a well-kept home, and a long-term tenant who keeps turnover low. It also lists the tough questions owners ask about licensing, zoning, liability, and risk, so you have your answers ready before they ask.
How to Negotiate Leases with Property Owners: learn what property owners want to hear before partnering with a shared housing operator, the benefits for each side, and how to secure favorable lease terms.
Checklist for Getting the Lease Agreement: a step-by-step checklist for preparing for and finalizing your lease, so no critical details are missed before you sign.
