Converting a SFR into Group Home/Boarding Care Facility (SoCal)

[David Jenkins]

I am about to purchase my 4th investment property, a SFR. Instead of renting it out the traditional way, I understand that converting a home into a group home or boarding care facility is very profitable.

Like everything else, I know this will require tons of research. I'm not sure where to start. But wondering if anyone in the SoCal area has done this and what your experience has been? 

FYI, this is in LA County. 

Thanks in advance!
