E193: Anthony Lawson on Real Estate Entrepreneurship Through Assisted Living and Group Homes

Anthony Lawson started his real estate journey by purchasing his first property and turning it into a veteran housing facility, which inspired him to create a business model that is impactful and cash-flowing.

Assisted living facilities and group homes for individuals with disabilities have the potential for high cash flow, with some facilities generating up to $10,000 per month per bed.

Acquiring existing facilities through mergers and acquisitions is a scalable approach to growing a real estate business in the assisted living and group home industry.

Anthony's debt fund structure allows investors to receive fixed returns and provides flexibility for scaling the business without the complexities of equity-based funds.

The key to success in the assisted living and group home industry is understanding the target demographic, building relationships with organizations and caseworkers, and leveraging government contracts for additional revenue.
