ESQ acquires properties across the DFW metro, executes a full co-living conversion and delivers a finished asset to yield-focused investors at close of renovation. There's no construction exposure and no ramp-up period, so income starts on day one.
ESQ handles every stage of development, from acquisition through conversion. You get a finished asset that's ready to generate returns from day one.
Every property goes through ESQ's proprietary acquisition framework before we make an offer. If it doesn't meet our criteria, we pass. We don't speculate.
ESQ oversees every conversion directly, from scoping through delivery. Room layouts, private door locks, common areas and finishes are all built to co-living standards.
Every property is fully converted and documented before the sale closes. No outstanding items, no contractor handoffs, nothing left for the investor to manage or finish.
Each room is laid out and framed for co-living from the start instead of being adapted after the fact.
Every room gets its own keyed or electronic lock. It's standard on every conversion we deliver.
Kitchens, bathrooms and shared living spaces are finished to a clean, functional standard that holds up to daily use for years.
Durable LVP flooring, paint and trim completed to market-ready standard throughout.
Every build is executed by ESQ's fully insured construction operation from start to finish. Cost, schedule and quality are controlled by ESQ. Construction risk remains with ESQ at every stage.
Renting rooms individually instead of leasing the whole property to one tenant brings in far more gross income, typically two to three times what a traditional lease produces on the same property.
Income comes from several members at once, so one vacancy only dips your income for a while instead of stopping it.
Co-living assets are set up to be run by an operator. Tenant screening, payments and day-to-day operations are handled by whoever manages the property, not by you as the owner.
Co-living development is our main focus. We pursue other strategies only when the right opportunity comes along, and we hold them to the same acquisition criteria.
We acquire, convert and sell. We don't manage properties or place tenants. Every deal has to pass our proprietary underwriting model before any capital is committed.
Properties that don't fit the co-living conversion criteria are renovated and sold to retail buyers. Sustains capital velocity and deal flow between primary conversions.
Occasional long-term holds in high-growth DFW corridors when the asset warrants portfolio retention over an immediate exit.
Construction, acquisitions, capital and deal pipeline each have a dedicated principal, so nothing slips through the cracks.
ESQ operates across targeted submarkets throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, each selected for co-living demand, employment proximity and acquisition viability.
Population growth is driving rental demand well beyond traditional housing supply in DFW.
DFW operators stabilize co-living assets at 7–9% cap rates, backed by strong workforce housing demand across the metro.
Sub-$300K acquisition in our target submarkets remains viable today. That window narrows as population growth accelerates and competition increases.
Every project follows the same proprietary process from acquisition to investor handoff, designed to remove risk at every stage.
Every property is sourced and evaluated through a proprietary scoring system before any offer is made.
Full co-living conversion executed by ESQ's fully insured construction operation. Average conversion: 4–6 weeks from start to completion.
The property is fully complete, documented and ready for sale.
The investor acquires a finished, fully converted asset and begins generating yield from day one of ownership.
Investors seeking co-living exposure rarely want construction risk on their balance sheet. ESQ handles acquisition, conversion and delivery, so you step into a finished asset and start earning yield from day one.
ESQ's fully insured construction operation manages the full build. The investor acquires the finished product at close of renovation. Construction risk is assumed entirely by ESQ.
Every build is complete and documented before the sale closes. You can move forward the day you acquire the property, with no extra work, waiting or ramp-up.
Co-living generates 2–3× the gross rent of a traditional lease. More members means more income from the same property.
ESQ delivers every asset before stabilization: vacant, converted and priced on the value of the build rather than projected income. As occupancy builds and rents materialize, the property's income-based value rises above what you paid. The gap between what you paid and the stabilized value is equity you've gained before making a single decision as an owner.
ESQ brings a focused group of capital partners into each deal. If you're a yield-focused investor looking to own a finished co-living asset in DFW without taking on construction risk, we invite you to join the list.
