The Co-Living Insurance Gap (and How to Fix It) | ft. Matthew Osman

Co-living is growing fast—but insurance hasn’t caught up.

In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Osman, a co-living realtor and operator who’s been working on one of the most overlooked risks in the space: improper insurance coverage.

Most operators assume they’re covered under standard landlord policies.
But once you go beyond 4 unrelated tenants, you may be operating in a gray area, or worse, completely exposed.

We break down what’s really happening behind the scenes and what you should be doing instead.

What We Cover:

• Why co-living doesn’t fit traditional insurance models
• The risk of having 5+ unrelated tenants under one policy
• Common scenarios where claims get delayed or denied
• How commercial-style co-living insurance works
• When to switch from landlord policy to co-living coverage
• How to think about insurance as you scale your portfolio

Why This Matters:

If you’re making co-living-level income, you need co-living-level protection.
This episode gives you a clearer path to protecting both your property and your business.
