Summary
Assisted living investments may be the most underrated, unknown, but ridiculously profitable real estate investment out there. For many investors, turning their single-family home into assisted or senior living seems like an impossible task. Don’t you need to have a medical background? Do you need a license? Can anyone do it? Instead of getting caught in analysis paralysis, Antoinette Munroe looked at the numbers, decided to take the jump, and hasn’t looked back. And after hearing her story, you might do the same!
Antoinette found financial freedom in just a few years with vacation rental investing. She used the game-changing strategy of house hacking combined with short-term rentals to profit over a thousand dollars a month, all while living in her own house. She slowly started building her empire, buying one property a year while working towards financial independence. She reached her ultimate goal, retiring early after only a few years of investing. Then, things started to change.
With new regulations rolling in, Antoinette had a large slice of her business about to be shut down or restricted at best. She needed to pivot to something that would make her the same money while still being passive enough to live the newly-retired lifestyle. When she heard about assisted living, she knew she had to run the numbers to see if the hype matched reality. The income was astonishing, and now she’s dedicated her time, money, and resources to building an assisted living empire that'll pay her much more than the vacation rentals before.

| 0:00.0 | This is the Bigger Pockets Podcast Show, 7-10. |
| 0:04.2 | If my goal is to keep this property forever and have it produce the max income that it can, |
| 0:11.7 | that's first priority. It can never be to, oh, it's not working out with the city in the |
| 0:16.8 | New York Times to sell. No, I committed to this property. We are in a relationship. I said I was |
| 0:20.8 | never letting it go. So I had to find something else. So it was the only option to me. |
| 0:26.5 | What's up everyone? This is David Green, your host of The Bigger Pockets Podcast. |
| 0:29.8 | Here to hit my co-host Rob Abbasolo bringing another great episode that is both inspirational, |
| 0:35.1 | tactical and practical. And yes, that rhymed too. Today's guest is Antoinette Munro who has a |
| 0:40.9 | fascinating story. She started off as a short-term rental investor and then found out the area |
| 0:45.8 | that she had bought these properties was going to make it very difficult or even impossible to |
| 0:49.6 | manage them. And what she did to pivot ended up making her even more money than choose making |
| 0:55.0 | before you're going to love it. You don't want to miss today's show. Rob, what was some of your favorite |
| 0:59.6 | parts of Antoinette's story? You know, I think the, it's always really nice to see how quickly |
| 1:04.5 | someone can learn to change their strategy. A lot of people go into real estate with just one |
| 1:10.0 | strategy their laser focus, but they don't really bake in the contingency plans. And it was just |
| 1:14.5 | really awesome to see Antoinette. It's not like she necessarily had the contingency plans, |
| 1:18.9 | but she adapted. And because she adapted, she's actually making a lot more money now. So it's |
| 1:23.5 | just very fun to dig into that story. All right, before we get to Antoinette today's quick dip is |
| 1:29.4 | don't despair when things go wrong. Ask yourself how you can pivot. Oftentimes there's an answer |
| 1:35.1 | just on the other side of your problem. And if you just think a little differently, we'll jump out. |
| 1:39.8 | Antoinette didn't have anyone else that told her what to do when regulations shut down her |
