The Co-Living Lending Playbook: How Smart Investors Structure Deals

Financing is the part of co-living that most investors underestimate… until a deal almost falls apart.

In this episode of The Co-Living Show, Miller McSwain and Craig Curelop sit down with Jessica Khani, a top 1% loan originator and real estate investor who has helped structure and close a large portion of their portfolio.

They break down what actually happens behind the scenes of getting deals funded—and why the right lender is often the difference between scaling and getting stuck.

This is not theory. These are real stories, real deals, and real mistakes.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why co-living financing is different from traditional real estate
• How to choose the right lender (and what questions to ask)
• Conventional vs FHA vs DSCR loans explained simply
• Why “shopping for the lowest rate” can cost you deals
• Creative financing strategies (interest-only, seller concessions, etc.)
• Real stories of deals nearly falling apart—and how they were saved
