Frequently asked questions

The Infrastructure Behind Certified Co-Living Assets.

What is co-living?

Co-living involves three or four non-related individuals living together in a house where they share common spaces like the kitchen and living area, while maintaining their own private furnished bedrooms

What is Padsplit?

Padsplit is a marketplace platform, similar to Airbnb or VRBO, that connects "members" (tenants) with "hosts" (landlords). It handles background checks, no credit checks, they do income verification, and eviction checks for members and provides a tech-enabled management system for week-to-week rentals.

Who typically lives in a Padsplit home?

Contrary to the "young student" stereotype, the average age of residents in the Kandeskis' homes is between 45 and 50 years old. Many residents stay for years rather than weeks.

What are the financial benefits compared to traditional flipping?

While traditional fix-and-flip margins have become thinner due to rising interest rates, converting homes into co-living spaces can yield significantly higher profits—sometimes between $60,000 and $80,000 or more per deal.

What makes the Green Light approach unique?

Instead of converting existing rentals or short-term properties, they buy distressed wholesale properties and "start from scratch" to design them specifically for the Padsplit model. Their homes are often considered "luxe" or higher quality than 95% of other properties on the platform.

What is the "Green Light Buying Machine"?

It is a system and training course developed by Brian and Gina to teach others how to identify, purchase, and convert distressed homes into high-margin co-living properties using their 26 years of trade secrets

Is there high demand for these properties?

Yes, there is a massive demand for affordable housing. In Arizona alone, the Kingdeski have buyers lined up to purchase their properties even before they have closed on the acquisition themselves.

We train buyers, standardize conversions, and connect finished homes to institutional buyers across the PadSplit ecosystem.
