Living The Dream

What Living The Dream does

Living The Dream is a Los Angeles-based luxury villa rental and concierge company that operates a vertically integrated master-lease model in the high-end residential market. The firm master leases 30+ single-family estates from property owners on 3-10+ year terms (with an additional broader portfolio of 50+ managed properties across Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Bel Air, and Malibu) and then subleases those fully furnished homes to high net worth individuals, professional athletes, out-of-state and international clients, and insurance-driven relocation cases at monthly rates ranging from $10,450 to $126,000, with short-term options starting at $995/night. The business underwrites owner-side risk by guaranteeing rent regardless of occupancy and by funding in-house remodeling ($150,000-$500,000+ per property) during rent-abatement tenant improvement periods, supported by $1M+ liability coverage from Lloyd's of London.

The portfolio — valued at $250M+ — is concentrated in supply-constrained trophy submarkets such as the Beverly Hills Flats, Trousdale Estates, Bird Streets, and Malibu (e.g., 721 N Beverly Dr, 611 N Rodeo Dr, 10502 Yellow Hill Rd). Around the rentals, the firm layers a 24/7 concierge offering (luxury cars, yachts, private chefs, security, airport transfers) and a furniture sub-brand (Living The Dream Furniture), generating ancillary professional-services and retail revenue. Operationally, the company is family-owned (Rudy Malka as CEO, Moran Gozlan as CFO, Shalom Gozlan as President), holds California DRE license #02152203, and runs a small 11-50 person organization with no disclosed institutional capital, funding rounds, or technology platform — its moat is the curated real-estate inventory and relationships rather than software.
