@Drew Brown I am familiar with California. Also the niche we spent most our time in was he DD (developmentally disabled). If that is the area of interest and focus, and your concentrating in Michigan ? Then I would suggest you find
the similar legal and administrative directives per your state, if that makes sense for example in California we have the Title 22 & The Lanterman Act, you need to find those similar in your state. They lay out the requirement which help you understand your cost.
As for the pro's and cons, I think that weighs more on your(s) strengths and weaknesses. Because this is such a people
and there issues intensive endeavor. You really have to decide your role, arms length ,., etc. Another thought is to attend / show up to some of the required licensing and certification classes, meet some of the folks who have kicked the can furhter down the proverbial road of licensing.
Im betting you might find some lucrative partnering opportunities. Drew hope that helps, I am happy to chat, give you my 2 cents.

@Zach Quick / @George Fitz thanks for that softball George...
Hey Zach
Storage facilities are an excellent vertical for taking advantage of
accelerated depreciation.
Example of 15- year assets:
landscaping, parking, sidewalk, curbs, fencing, site lighting, security system,
drainage ditches and collection basins, monuments, signage, and much more.
Lets get you a benchmark so you will have a real good idea of what your cost seg benefits potential is.
What say you?

Hi Anita,
My wife and I are looking to attract small balance debt and equity, to participate in our scaling of Adult Residential Facilities-DD (developmentally disabled adults ages 22-59) ARF-DD. Building confidence, and trust along the way.
My wife and I both have 10+ years each working with this population in facility and clinical settings.
There is an increasing demand well into the future to provide quality care/housing to this population.
If done right this is a strong revenue generating niche.
Today we are looking to attract small balance debt and equity, to support the scaling of ARF-DD facilities.
In the last 2 months we have taken control (lease option to purchase) a SFR for this purpose. We are in the licensing process and approval steps which generally takes 3 – 6 months, before licensing completion, and being able to take on clients.
Right now needs involve exterior/interior TI’s tenant improvement’s, and some reserves.
Phase I (Current)
TI Improvements
Reserves $75,000
Phase II
Exercise lease option
$100,000 - $150,000 (20% down shared)
Secure long term debt (Fannie /Freddy)
Phase III
Develop out initial property $250,000
Control of additional ARF-DD $500,000 - $1.5 MM (transactional)
We are interested in understanding if, you can provide some expertise in helping us identify the best fit structure’s to seek financing:
Starting the facility, opening the facility, scaling the model.
I googled your facility address and it looks like a lovely property. Would appreciate any input you can share. Look forward to hearing from you.

I have of course pro forma and more detail, before barraging you I wanted you to respond with initial interest.
We appreciate your time and consideration.
