Chicago Padsplit Day
Rent by the Room: Housing Chicago's Workforce
Chicago has a housing affordability problem, and a real estate opportunity hiding inside it. Rent-by-the-room and Co-Living models create more attainable housing for working professionals while giving property owners another way to increase income potential. But the opportunity is only as good as the numbers and the execution.
So we're taking this out of the classroom and into the real world: a full day of property tours, underwriting, financing conversations, and networking with investors actively working in the space.
Join us for part of the day or all of it. Each session stands on its own, so come for what fits your schedule.
What You'll Experience
Morning Property Walk-Through See real properties through an investor's lens: what makes a property a fit for Co-Living, and the practical considerations that come with it.
Lunch & Learn: Underwrite & Refinance How to evaluate the numbers behind a deal, and the financing strategies to acquire, improve, and refinance.
Evening: PadSplit Chicago Meetup Connect with investors, operators, lenders, agents, and other professionals working in Chicago housing. Bring your questions and an address you're curious about.
