Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

Sherri Candelario, Ph.D. is a pharmacologist from the University of Washington Medical School, becoming an expert in how opioids affect the brain and is a federally registered patent counsel for numerous biotech companies.

Frank Candelario is an experienced broker skilled in zoning, acquisition, and identifying and financing housing for multi-use.

After experiencing sober living recovery homes with a family member, and assessing the pitfalls of current this recovery approach, Sherri and Frank decided to take matters into their own hands. They developed a business model that enabled people in recovery to regain control of their lives.

In 2016, Sherri and Frank founded Kate’s House Foundation, the first nationally accredited sober living homes in Washington State. Together, their mission in real estate is to end homelessness for disadvantaged women and veterans.

Quotes:

Frank: “What realized quickly is that… that to own beautiful property we needed to get much higher cashflow so ironically all these things meshed at one time to where if you lease by the bed for a clean and sober program you can get tremendous—2-3x the normal cash flow.”

Frank: “…our goal is not to rent to a husband, wife, two kids, and a dog. Our goal is to have a home that if necessary we could sell to a husband, wife, two kids, and a dog. Our business model created great cash flow that enabled us just to keep growing.”

Sherri: “I would say if you want to scale this appropriately, is [to] do what we are always doing which is trying to find the talent in the house to manage it.”

Sherri: “I think from day one we realized that a lot of people didn't really know how to live together in a house because they hadn’t had one growing up… so when we look at the tragedies that people have gone through, you have to be sensitive to it but then you have to realize that you are providing a home for the first time and you’re providing a basis for people to launch into a wonderful life.”
