Shownotes

Could you build recession-resistant cash flow—while serving seniors—starting from a single five-bed home?

If you’re tired of fragile plays (Airbnb policy swings, fad hustles, thin margins) and want a purpose-driven business with durable demand, this episode shows how assisted living can become your focused, scalable lane—whether you operate yourself or invest passively alongside proven operators.

  • Learn the real unit economics and operations—average profit per facility, payor mix (private pay & Medicaid), and the simple residency agreement protections most newcomers miss.
  • Get a step-by-step path from first five-bed home to multi-facility portfolio, including SOPs, staffing, and how Serg avoided “shiny object syndrome” to scale to 17 facilities.
  • Discover passive entry options (syndications), how deals are sourced below replacement cost, and the returns and hold periods Serg targets—plus red flags from the $20k and six-figure scams he overcame.

Press play now to hear Serg’s exact numbers, first-year mistakes, and the three moves he’d use today to start—or invest in—your first assisted living facility.
