At CoNest Investments, we are driven by a passion for transforming real estate into community-centric spaces that empower individuals and foster connections. Founded by seasoned professionals with extensive expertise in real estate development and affordable housing, our company addresses the housing crisis in Phoenix, Arizona, through innovative co-living models.

Our team’s diverse experience across the real estate industry enables us to refurbish single-family homes into affordable, communal spaces, providing low-income residents with not only a place to live but also a supportive community where they can thrive. We focus on acquiring and developing properties in accessible locations, near public transportation and commercial areas. Each residence is carefully selected based on affordability and renovation potential, with homes typically ranging from 1,300 to 1,600 square feet. Many require complete rehabilitation, allowing us to create high-quality, multi-bedroom living spaces that foster a sense of belonging and long-term stability for residents.

By focusing on thoughtful property selection and comprehensive renovations, we ensure that each transformed home not only provides an affordable place to live but also contributes to the growth of vibrant, sustainable communities.

Investment process

The company operates as a discretionary investment fund, where investors commit capital without knowing the exact property in advance. However, once a property is selected, investors are promptly notified and have three days to either accept the investment opportunity or opt out. The fund manager independently identifies and acquires properties based on a defined strategy and market expertise. This process involves thorough due diligence and careful evaluation to ensure optimal investment choices.

The company focuses on acquiring single-family homes ranging from 1,300 to 1,600 square feet, with purchase prices up to $250,000, in locations with access to public transportation and commercial zones. Once acquired, each property undergoes a comprehensive renovation, with an estimated budget of $180,000, to convert it into a co-living space with a minimum of five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Following the renovation, the properties are leased for shared living arrangements, ensuring long-term value and sustainable returns. The rental income is then allocated to investors in proportion to their respective series, after deducting the associated costs and expenses.
