#336: Sobriety Living Homes, Scaling Business Models, Accreditation, and So Much More! -with Sherri and Frank Candelario
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.” Highlight: 02:46 - Sherri and Frank tell listeners about their experience with addiction & recovery, what ultimately helped Kate maintain sobriety, and how they got into the real-estate space. 05:32 - They tell us how the last sobriety house Sherri’s daughter, Kate, lived in differed from other sobriety houses she first lived in.

I’m in real estate right now but it's just another company. You treat it the same way… eventually, they’re going to be exactly the same, it’s just what we are selling that’s different.” “We’ve been lucky in that we are not having to draw up investors like a lot of sponsors have to do… there has never been an investor in any of our deals larger than me and so that helps. I’m asking for investors to invest alongside of me.” “We could spend two podcasts just going over my failures. I’ve got plenty… but the truth is, what’s most important is what you learn from them—is what you gain from them… I believe that with every failure comes a gain.” “Mistakes were made way before that…mistakes were made in the fact that I let emotions get in the way of a deal.” Highlights:01:34 - Tony gives us insight into his background and how he got involved in real estate 05:09 - Tony tells us the lessons he’s learned and the similarities and differences between the LP space, the GP space, and the internet space. 07:01 - Tony talks about what made him choose the multifamily sector of real estate. 08:42 - Tony talks about how he has been able to find opportunities in today’s competitive landscape. 12:15 - Tony tells us what he thinks other multi-family buyers are doing differently than his company. 15:10 - Tony gives insight into the locations his company focuses on and the markets they are looking to expand into. 17:33 - Kevin asks Tony if there is anything his company does differently when setting out to find and raise capital as well as what its like vetting as a GP. 19:54 - Tony provides us with details on a deal he made that never met his expectations. 24:35 - Speaking to the GP side, Tony gives another example of a real estate deal that never met his expectations. 30:09 - Tony offers us his golden nugget piece of advice for our listeners.
