Summary
Senior living investments are at a critical inflection point. Demand is sharply rising as the Baby Boomer generation ages, but supply hasn’t kept pace. The “silver tsunami” is starting to send waves our way, and skilled operators are already taking advantage. Value-add senior living investments, like the example shared by today’s guest, are seeing values multiply—and diligent operators have huge opportunities not only to make sizable returns but also to provide better lives for their residents. Lynn Jerath, founder of Citrine Investment Group, has a battle-tested background in REIT investing, hospitality, multifamily, and real estate private equity. She’s pivoted to senior housing investments not only because of the profit potential, but also because of the purpose behind them. And she’s not just buying managerially distressed assets, flipping the operator, and walking away. Lynn’s team is delivering significant value add and, as a result, increasing the facility's value by 2x–3x on their total investment. She says demand is still growing while supply is constrained—and this trend could accelerate. Between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and active adult investments, Lynn proves (with real numbers) that this space is far from saturated as the silver surge begins to wash ashore.
