If they do, they go to a higher level of care such as a nursing home (higher level of assistance with ADLs) or a Skilled Nursing Facility (called a SNIFF, where medical care is provided).The ALFs I'm working with are all running at 100% capacity and have waiting lists, because there are simply not enough beds.A sharp operator will find an unused municipal building - especially a school - and work with the town building department, code enforcement and fire inspector to get it up to code.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
