This Year's Speakers
Sam Wegert
The CoLiving King and
the #1 Authority in CoLiving Real Estate
He started his CoLiving journey in 2011 and reached financial freedom with his wife by age 23. What began with just a few rented rooms has grown into a network of over 1,500 CoLiving doors including his own and those of the investors he mentors.
As the founder of Scale Your CoLiving Real Estate and the largest CoLiving real estate mastermind in the world, Sam leads a thriving community of investors transforming traditional rentals into high-performing, affordable housing. His proven strategies turn ordinary homes into wealth-building assets. He has also been featured on top real estate podcasts across the country for it.
Before real estate, Sam founded UpLevel Martial Arts, where he taught thousands of students leadership, discipline, and personal growth. His experience as a coach and business owner laid the foundation for his passion today: helping others break free from their 9-5 and live on their own terms through CoLiving.
Sam is on a mission to solve the affordable housing crisis while empowering others to escape the 9-5 grind. He believes CoLiving is the fastest and most impactful path to wealth in real estate, and hundreds are following his lead.
Fernando Corona
Expert Co-Living Mortgage Broker
Fernando's bio Six years ago, I left a comfortable six-figure job to build a life where I controlled my time, income, and impact. Since then, I’ve started five businesses that failed—and two that have helped real estate investors close over 160 loans across the country.
Today, I run Remote Lender, a mortgage brokerage built exclusively for real estate investors. We specialize in DSCR loans and creative traditional financing for PadSplit, Coliving, BRRRRs, BRRCRRs, short-term rentals, and long-term holds. In 2024, we helped investors close over 130 loans because of our transparency and strategic lender matching.
Alongside that, I founded ZERO Origination Investor, a program that teaches investors how to originate their own loans so they can pay ZERO broker origination fees—and even launch their own brokerage. One very first student, Cameron, submitted his first deal within just five days of joining—saving thousands in fees and gaining total control over the financing process.
Through both companies, my mission is simple: help investors build wealth, reduce friction, and take control of their real estate financing.
Outside of business, I’m a husband to an amazing wife and father to two amazing girls.
Despite the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
David Edwards
CoLiving Operations
Top 5% Producing Agent | Co-Living Real Estate Expert | Houston Property Manager | Proud Father of Three
With a career rooted in innovation and driven by results, Dave has been a leading force in the co-living real estate space since 2021. He quickly recognized the growing demand for affordable, community-based housing and turned that insight into a thriving niche—offering not just homes, but lifestyle-driven living spaces that outperform traditional rentals in both occupancy and ROI.
Dave is ranked among the Top 5% of real estate agents in 2024 by sales volume, a testament to his relentless drive, deep market knowledge, and client-first approach. Whether it’s helping investors build their portfolios or guiding homeowners through complex transactions, Dave delivers data-backed strategies, sharp negotiation skills, and a clear plan from start to finish.
Currently, Dave manages 44 investment properties throughout the Houston metro area, ranging from single-family co-living conversions to high-cash-flow multifamily units. His hands-on experience in property management gives him a unique edge—he understands what it takes not just to buy or sell a property, but to maximize its long-term value and performance.
When he's not busy growing portfolios or walking properties, Dave’s world revolves around his family. He’s a proud father of three amazing kids, including one beautiful daughter who runs the house with a smile and a little bit of sass (his words—“HAHAHA!”). Balancing spreadsheets by day and bedtime stories by night, Dave brings that same blend of discipline and heart to both his personal and professional life.
If you're an investor looking for a smarter approach to real estate, a landlord needing hands-on insight, or just someone wanting to understand how co-living can work in Houston—Dave is your guy.
