This Episode
The oldest baby boomers are turning 80 just as senior housing construction reaches its lowest level in more than a decade. Matt Johnson of McFarlin Group joins Chris Lopez to explain why this widening supply and demand gap could create one of the strongest real estate opportunities of the next several years.
Matt shares how he grew from buying a duplex near SMU into developing and acquiring senior living communities with institutional partners. He also discusses HUD financing, fixed-rate debt, fund structures, labor management, and the operating systems required to run properties that combine elements of housing, hospitality, and healthcare.
Key takeaways:
• Why the population of Americans over 80 is expected to grow rapidly
• How limited construction is affecting senior housing occupancy and rents
• What Matt learned launching McFarlin Group during the Great Recession
• Why his team prefers fixed-rate debt and patient capital
• How GP funds give individual investors access to institutional deals
• Why controlling labor costs is essential to senior housing performance
