What happens when a seasoned serial entrepreneur with 30 international telecom branches, a FedEx fleet, and a thriving multifamily portfolio decides to pivot into assisted living?

In this episode of Assisted Living Investing, Charles shares why he’s building luxury assisted living mansions after years in multifamily syndication, and why he believes this model delivers 10X the cash flow.

We dive into:
• Why he exited transportation at the peak
• The truth about multifamily cash flow
• Paying for speed with coaching and mentorship
• Why team > deal
• Why assisted living provides both impact AND income
• Building a 64-bed campus model in Scottsdale

If you're a multifamily investor struggling with low cash flow… or wondering whether senior housing investing is the next move, this episode breaks it down.

Most people think you need millions of dollars to build real wealth in real estate.

That’s not true.

In this episode, I break down exactly how we turn $500,000 of investor capital into a $30+ million assisted living portfolio step by step, using phased development, SBA financing, and a proven memory care model we’re scaling across the country.
This isn’t theory.
This is the real math, real appraisals, real cash flow, and real exits behind assisted living mansion neighborhoods.
What you’ll learn:
• How one 16-bed mansion can generate $480K–$700K+ in annual profit
• Why SBA loans are a massive advantage in assisted living development
• How we refinance, roll equity, and scale without raising new capital
• The exact numbers behind land, construction, soft costs, and cash flow
• How investors can see 15–45%+ IRR across phased expansion
• Why small 6-bed homes cap your upside—and what actually scales
This is how you build time freedom, financial freedom, and impact, all at once.

Most investors think scaling assisted living is about systems and numbers.
They’re wrong! The real test happens when everything goes sideways.
When natural disasters hit, the difference between real operators and absentee owners becomes painfully clear.
In this episode, Brett Chotkevys breaks down the biggest hidden challenge in scaling an assisted living or memory care business, accountability during crisis.
From ice storms in Texas to staffing breakdowns, this is a real-world look at:

• What happens when caregivers can’t show up
• Why small, owner-led teams outperform big corporate facilities
• The responsibility that comes with caring for vulnerable seniors
• Why culture, leadership, and boots-on-the-ground ownership matter more than systems alone

If you’re looking at assisted living purely as a “passive investment,” this episode will challenge that mindset, and potentially save you from making a costly mistake

Most investors look at land price and construction costs first, and that’s why their assisted living deals don’t work.

In this episode, Brett breaks down the single most important metric in assisted living real estate: bed rate. He explains how bed rates drive top-line income, determine whether banks approve financing, and ultimately decide if a deal pencils or fails, regardless of how cheap or expensive the land is.
You’ll learn how to properly analyze your market, avoid misleading “low” advertised rates, understand the difference between a la carte vs. all-inclusive models, and identify which competitors actually matter when you’re underwriting a deal. Brett also shares real-world examples from across the country, explaining why some high-priced land works, and some cheap land doesn’t.

If you’re serious about building a profitable, scalable assisted living business, this is foundational knowledge you can’t skip.

Most assisted living operators cap their income before they ever start.

In this video, I break down exactly how I went from charging $5,000/month to $10,000+ per resident, while 4X-ing net profit, without doubling the workload.
The difference isn’t more effort.
It’s who you serve, what you build, and how you position your product.
If you’re converting small homes, competing on price, or targeting entry-level assisted living customers, you’re playing the wrong game.
I’ll show you:

• Why affluent private-pay customers change everything
• How purpose-built assisted living mansions outperform home conversions
• How combining the right product + service creates massive net profit
• Why this model scales nationally and builds generational wealth

This is how we compete with big corporate facilities, and beat them at their own game, while delivering better care and building real legacy.

What do you want to learn next about assisted living, scaling, or profitability?

Assisted living, specifically end-of-life memory care, is entering a breakout phase.

Demand is surging. Supply isn’t keeping up.
Bed rates are doubling. Old facilities are being pushed out.
The result? $50K+ per month cash-flow assets with long-term appreciation upside. In this clip, Brett explains why this niche mirrors early residential real estate booms, and why experienced operators are building scalable wealth by focusing where margins and pricing power are strongest.

This isn’t speculative investing. It’s demographics, real estate, and operations converging.

If you don’t want to be the investor saying “I should’ve started earlier,” now is the window. Learn more:
