As housing costs rise and urban lifestyles evolve, co-living is rapidly emerging as one of Malaysia’s fastest-growing rental trends—especially in key areas like KL, Petaling Jaya, Subang, and Cyberjaya.
If you’re a property owner with a multi-bedroom unit sitting vacant—or earning below its potential—co-living rental solutions may be the key to significantly increasing your rental yield.
At Auntie Michelle Resources (M) Sdn Bhd, we help Malaysian homeowners and investors convert residential properties into high-demand, professionally managed co-living spaces, ready for immediate rental income.
Co-living refers to a shared housing arrangement where individual tenants rent private bedrooms while sharing common spaces like kitchens and living rooms. Unlike traditional rentals, co-living offers flexibility, affordability, and community living—making it highly attractive to:
Young working professionals
Digital nomads and freelancers
University students
Expats and project-based workers
For property owners, this model allows you to maximize every square foot of your unit, renting out multiple rooms at higher total returns than a single tenancy.
Malaysia's urban areas are seeing increased demand for affordable yet stylish shared housing. Many young renters want move-in-ready spaces with:
Private rooms
Shared amenities
Fully furnished interiors
Convenient locations
Flexible rental terms
If your property meets these basic criteria, we can help you transform it into a high-performing co-living rental asset.
At Auntie Michelle Resources, we deliver full-service co-living rental solutions—from renovation to room management.
We redesign your unit to maximize rental capacity without compromising tenant comfort. Whether it's adding partition walls or optimizing room layouts, we ensure every space is rentable.
Our team furnishes each room and shared space with tenant-ready essentials: beds, desks, wardrobes, air conditioning, kitchenware, and more. We focus on neutral, modern designs that photograph well and appeal to professionals.
We handle property photography, listings, and tenant sourcing—targeting the right demographics across platforms like iBilik, Speedhome, PropertyGuru, and more.
From rent collection to tenant coordination and maintenance, we offer ongoing management so you can enjoy hands-free income.
Most renovation contractors or agents focus on one part of the process. We offer a one-stop solution built specifically for co-living success.

We’ve helped dozens of Malaysian homeowners turn underutilized units into profitable co-living rentals, with average rental yields increasing by 30–70% after conversion.
Our services are ideal for:
Investors with apartments or landed homes near commercial or education hubs
Parents with units near universities looking to rent to students
Owners of multi-room units seeking better rental income than whole-unit leases
Homeowners who don’t want to manage tenants themselves
Landlords exploring shared-space models like room rentals or hostels
Whether it’s a 3-bedroom condo in PJ or a terrace house near a college, co-living can unlock much higher income potential than traditional renting.
Damansara Perdana: 3-bedroom condo converted to 4 rooms — monthly rental increased from RM2,000 to RM3,400
Cyberjaya: Empty apartment transformed into modern co-living unit — fully tenanted within 2 weeks
