The transitional living & addiction treatment space is expanding and presenting next level opportunities for investors who are either private equity, qualified investors/high net worth individuals, real estate developers or entrepreneurs.
Transitional living may even be a larger market for focus as the need for long term living solutions are few options for this demographic reintroduced to society either from homelessness, from prison-to-probation, LBGTQIA identity-safe homes, or sober living.
POPULATION BACKGROUND CHALLENGES
Real Estate Investor Opportunity
This population often has background challenges that prevent them from living in apartments, or other housing solutions and they are going to need a place to live long term with second chance options.
This presents a huge opportunity for real estate investors that convert their properties to meet the needs of this demographic. This seems like an easy fix, however investors can’t just go at this alone without proper advisement or consultation to maximize this opportunity for long term economic success.

With the challenging state of global economics, investors are scrambling for financial vehicles that will provide both preservation of capital and growth. Most markets are in some condition of calamity or vacillating; including equities, and commodities.

NEW INVESTOR & INVESTOR GROUP
We Know How To Invest
We would much rather see a new investor or investor group either invest money into an existing transitional rehab or buy one outright rather than buy land, build and go to market on their own. The amount of money required is usually a lot more than planned or budgeted, and it will be even more if your insurance billing doesn’t give you the reimbursement rates you are expecting.
Some insurance companies send checks to the insured or patient. Imagine giving an addict a check for $40,000+ after they are home from a 30-day stay in rehab, which could present a real challenge when it comes time for collection.

“In Transitional Living & Addiction Treatment Centers Digital Reputation Matters”
INVESTOR BEWARE
Buyer beware…some of the transitional living and/ or drug rehabs for sale at first glance look promising however can have some serious problems. It is easy to find problems that stick out like a sore thumb today with the power of internet search engine sources such as Yelp, BBB, Google, Rip Off Report and many other legitimate news sites. These sites easily reveal to the public the reputation of a rehab business online, and you don’t want to be negatively listed.
Not all of the claims you’ll see are true, however that won’t matter to a potential lead that bypasses on your facility based upon a negative review. If a rehab center has a lot of negative press it becomes really difficult to attract new clients, and can drive high marketing cost to try and overcome the negative. Keep this in mind if you are attempting to purchasing, an existing facility without consulting help.
