Why Invest in Senior Living?

Over recent years, there has been astonishing growth in the U.S. senior population, driving demand for senior housing. The percentage of older adults is continuously growing, with over 54.1 million Americans being 65 years or older. Now, baby boomers are pushing the envelope like no other generation before, creating a powerful investment opportunity. 

In the last decade, senior living has been the number one performing commercial real estate sector, and has continued to be profitable through several market collapses. As an investor, you can earn a significant return on investment while also providing a much-needed resource to the market. With senior living, you can expect an annualized rate of return of 13%-21%.
