You don't have to buy a house to run an independent living home. This guide covers the four routes — straight lease, master lease and lease-option, owner partnership with guaranteed rent, and manage-for-a-split — plus the paperwork that protects you, how to check an address before you sign, how to run the numbers honestly, and a full section for operators who are short on cash or working with rough credit. INCLUDED FREE: The Landlord Pitch Script — the word-for-word pitch (opener, benefit case, objection handling, close, and follow-up) that convinces a homeowner to lease to your business instead of a single family.
