I'd like to get other's experiences doing this type of venture.Thanks!

I certainly led me to thinking that residential assisted living homes (RALs) may be a valid venture to dive into over the next few years.That being said, I am interested in connecting with anyone who has had any experience with RALs, and similar types of settings, specifically within the states of New York and New Jersey. 

However they have websites, BP Profiles and social media suggesting years of experience and success.
