What makes high-level professionals walk away from corporate America and go all in on assisted living real estate?
In this episode of the Assisted Living Investing (ALI) Podcast, our Brett sits down with two partners who did exactly that. They left stable careers, bet on assisted living, and are building real wealth in Kansas City by focusing on long-term cash flow, funding, and scalable real estate strategy.
We break down:

• Why they left corporate America
• Why assisted living beat traditional real estate
• How they evaluated risk before going all in
• What Kansas City looks like as an assisted living market
• What most people misunderstand about assisted living investing

This is not house flipping.
 This is not rentals.
 This is a real business built on real demand.
