Direct answer
Coliving advisory is priced three main ways: a one-off project fee for a feasibility study or audit, an hourly or day rate, or a monthly retainer. Everything Coliving offers an unlimited 1-on-1 advisory retainer, so operators get continuous access rather than paying per hour. The right question is not the sticker price but the value: advisory that prevents one bad site or lifts occupancy a few points pays for itself many times over.
The three pricing models
Project-based pricing suits a defined deliverable, a feasibility study, an underwriting review, or a marketing and operations audit, with a fixed scope and fee. Hourly or day rates suit ad-hoc questions. Retainers suit operators who want ongoing access as decisions come up.
Everything Coliving offers unlimited 1-on-1 advisory on a retainer, which fits operators who would rather have a coliving expert on call than ration hours. Scope and pricing are set on a short call.
Judge the fee against the decision
Advisory is bought to de-risk expensive, hard-to-reverse decisions. The relevant comparison is not the fee versus zero; it is the fee versus the cost of a bad site, a year of weak occupancy, or a botched conversion, each of which dwarfs any advisory cost.
That is why the strongest buyers of advisory are operators about to commit capital, or operators whose numbers are underperforming and who want the bottleneck found fast.
