The property

Location

180 Ladybug Lane, Cedar Creek, TX 78612. End of the road, quiet, residential. Under 10 minutes to the Musk complex (Boring Company, Starlink, SpaceX, x.com). Just a few minutes from Starlink Plaza (bar, music, food, sports, barber, bocce, pickleball).

Structure

Two-story home. Upstairs: roommate house with multiple individual bedrooms and shared common areas. Downstairs: separate efficiency unit with private entrance (premium offering). 12+ rentable rooms total.

Internet infrastructure

Three independent ISPs — AT&T, T-Mobile 5G, and Starlink — bonded through a Ubiquiti Dream Machine. This is genuinely better than what most tech companies provide their employees.

Tenant base

Mostly tech workers and professionals, including past tenants from Starlink and other Musk-complex companies. Mature, quiet, mostly long-stay.

Lines of business

Current: Coliving operations

The bedrock. Monthly rent collection from 9-12 active tenants. Average rent $560-780/month per room. Currently generating ~$78,000/year annualized. Bank: Wells Fargo (rent + property bills).

Near-term: Musk-complex repositioning

The opportunity. Re-marketing the property exclusively to Musk-complex commuters (Boring/Starlink/SpaceX/x.com employees) could increase rents 30-50% per room. Realistic upside: $110,000-130,000/year annualized within 12-18 months. The public site at texascoliving.com is built for this repositioning.

Future: Real estate broker work

The expansion. Paul has connections to real estate professionals (notably Nancy & Mark Bergeron at Keller Williams in Hot Springs, AR). Future expansion possibilities include: brokering properties for tech workers relocating to the Bastrop area, partnering with local agents, building out a small real estate practice that complements the coliving operation.

Future: Coliving consultancy

The compounding play. Once the property is fully repositioned and stabilized, the operational playbook becomes a saleable asset. Other property owners near tech employer concentrations (Bastrop, Boca Chica, Hawthorne, etc.) could pay for guidance on how to repeat this model.

Bank account discipline

Wells Fargo (wf) is THE rental account. All tenant rent deposits, all property expenses (mortgage, utilities, repairs, insurance, supplies) flow through Wells Fargo only. Personal Social Security goes to First National Bastrop. Tech business income goes to Bank of America. Whole Foods purchases go to Chase. Zero overlap. This discipline is what makes the unified ledger possible once Google Drive is connected to Claude.
