Why Build Purpose-Built Co-Living?

Converting existing homes into co-living works—but purpose-built properties deliver 15–25% higher ROI. When you design from scratch, you control every detail: bedroom count, bathroom configuration, shared spaces, parking, utilities, and layouts optimized for tenant appeal and operational efficiency.

New construction advantages: Maximized leasable square footage, optimized utility costs, modern amenities that justify premium rents, predictable timelines, and compliance built into the design (not retrofitted). A 5–7 bedroom purpose-built co-living home generates $3,500–$4,500/month in gross rent across Florida markets.

Our Complete Construction Management Service

Avenir doesn't just consult—we manage the entire process from design through lease-ready:

Construction Oversight: From contractor selection to final walk-through, Avenir provides full project management. We track budgets, manage timelines, and ensure quality standards that protect your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

New Build & Construction FAQ

How does room-by-room leasing work?

Each bedroom in your property is marketed and leased to an individual tenant under a separate lease agreement. Tenants share common areas (kitchen, living room, bathrooms) while having a private bedroom. Avenir handles all marketing, screening, lease execution, and tenant coordination.

Is room-by-room leasing legal in Florida?

Yes. Most Florida municipalities do not restrict the number of unrelated occupants in a single-family home for long-term leases (6+ months). Standard building code occupancy limits based on bedroom size and egress apply. Avenir verifies compliance for every property we manage.

How much more revenue does room-by-room leasing generate?

Typically 30–50% more gross revenue than a single-household lease on the same property. For example, a 5-bedroom Orlando home earning $2,800/month traditionally can generate $4,250/month ($850/room) with room-by-room leasing.

What happens when a tenant leaves?

Unlike traditional rentals where one vacancy means 100% income loss, room-by-room leasing means a single vacancy only reduces income by 20–25%. We begin marketing the room immediately and typically fill it within 2–4 weeks.

Do I need to furnish the property?

Furnished rooms command higher rents and fill faster. We recommend furnishing common areas and bedrooms. Avenir can coordinate furnishing packages - typically $2,000–$4,000 per room - that pay for themselves within 3–6 months through higher rent.

What types of tenants rent individual rooms?

Our tenant base includes travel nurses, young professionals, graduate students, remote workers, and relocating employees. These are working adults who value a private room at $650–$1,100/month over a $1,800+ apartment lease. For a full breakdown of how we vet every tenant, learn about our tenant screening process.
