Why It Matters: The Power of a Supportive Community

Starting a residential assisted living (RAL) business comes with its challenges, from navigating licensing to finding funding and understanding zoning laws. But you don’t have to do it alone. With the right tools, mentorship, and support, you can launch your facility successfully—and that’s exactly what we’re here for at Assisted Living Investing.

1. Stay Connected with Weekly Live Streams 🎥

One of the best ways to get tailored advice and real-time support is through our weekly live streams. Every Tuesday, we go live on both Facebook and YouTube.

These sessions cover a specific topic related to starting and growing your assisted living business. We also dedicate plenty of time to answering your questions live, so you get expert advice directly from me. Be sure to subscribe on YouTube and turn on notifications on Facebook, so you never miss an opportunity to get your questions answered!


Why It Matters:

  • Direct access to expert advice 📚

  • Real-time Q&A for your most pressing concerns 💬

  • Focused topics that move you forward in your journey ⏩


2. Interactive and Supportive Facebook Community 👥

Our Facebook group has been revamped to focus more on interaction and support. It’s not just about sharing information anymore—our group is about engagement. You’ll find helpful posts, questions for discussion, and plenty of opportunities to connect with other aspiring assisted living owners.

Whether you're struggling with zoning issues, wondering how to approach the health department, or just need some advice on funding options, you’ll find a thriving community ready to help. I’m in there, along with others who have walked the path before, to answer your questions and guide you forward.


Why It Matters:

  • Direct access to a supportive group of like-minded individuals 🤝

  • A place to get specific answers to your questions 🧐

  • Learn from others who are already running successful businesses 💼


3. Get Your Questions Answered

Starting a residential assisted living (RAL) business involves a lot of questions:

  • “How do I get licensed?” 📝

  • “What zoning do I need?” 🏘️

  • “How do I approach the health department?” 🏥

  • “What about funding like SBA loans or Medicaid?” 💰

These are just a few of the questions we tackle inside our group and during our live sessions. We want to ensure that you have the answers you need to take the next steps in your business, no matter where you are in the process.


 

4. Unlock Time and Financial Freedom with Expert Guidance 💸

Since 2020, I’ve been running two successful assisted living homes. I love this business because it offers not only the opportunity to help people but also the potential for time and financial freedom. But starting and growing a successful business takes more than just good intentions. It takes the right plan, systems, and mentorship.

That’s where our 2-week Assisted Living Accelerator course comes in. This step-by-step program is designed to help you launch your business successfully in just three months. You’ll gain the tools, knowledge, and support you need to get started, whether you’re converting a home or purchasing an existing facility.


5. Fresh Branding and Fun Engagements 🎉

We’ve recently rolled out a new logo and banner, and these reflect the warm, caring environment we want our assisted living businesses to embody. In addition, we’re running fun contests in the Facebook group to encourage you to introduce yourself, share your goals, and connect with others locally. These little mastermind groups within the larger community can be an amazing source of encouragement and collaboration.


6. Funding Your Business: What You Need to Know 💵

Funding is often the biggest challenge for new business owners. For leasing a facility, you might need around $50,000–$60,000 to get started. Purchasing an existing facility means putting down a 20% down payment, which can be a significant investment (e.g., $200,000 on a $1 million property).

Attending local real estate meetups can help you connect with potential investors, but the key to attracting funding is a well-crafted business plan. A solid plan shows investors and lenders that you’re serious and have a roadmap for success.


Why It Matters:

  • Understanding how to fund your business is crucial for getting started 💡

  • Networking opportunities with potential investors 🤝

  • A business plan checklist that helps attract funding 📊
