As someone who owns an assisted living I would tell you it is much more intestine than you may think.

Quote from @Xavier S Lopez: I currently live in North Jersey and it is near impossible to get started on investing in real estate here.

Live with family, stack cash, learn the numbers, analysis the market for a year, and then go find/buy/create a deal you can't pass up.

The reason it won’t work is that “low end” assisted living is not profitable.  

There's huge demand for this space as more people age and need these types of living environments.

The city’s rent growth continues to outpace many markets nationwide, fueled by consistent demand and the high potential of value-add projects that outperform traditional landlord returns.My Personal Take on PhillyHaving lived downtown for over 20 years, I’ve watched the city’s evolution firsthand.

Converted a 5-bedroom property into co-living at $800 per room, generating $4,000/month.Strong cash flow with the right systems. 

It’s not a “set and forget” strategy, but with good systems and patience, it can be a reliable income stream once you get the hang of it.

Will Investor Edge allow us to see a Demo b4 paying the $4000 to get started They will, but the demo is basically a white labeled Prop stream.

Like others mentioned, if you’re able to house hack living in part of the property while renting out the rest, that’s often the fastest way to start building equity, cash flow , keeping expenses manageable, and learning how to manage a property.
