Own the Business.
Own the Real Estate.
Never Do It Alone.

No — this is an equity partnership. Velora is a co-owner working beside you, not a brand licensor. We hold a 25% stake in the operating company, we put our own capital at risk, and we work the business with you every day. You are not buying a name to hang on the door; you are gaining a partner with an operating track record.

It helps, but it is not required. What is required is that you complete California’s RCFE Administrator Certification — and we coach you through the full 80-hour programme. Many of our strongest candidates come from caregiving, nursing, or healthcare administration; others are career-changers with the right temperament and capital.

Roughly $750,000 in available capital — covering the home down payment, conversion and safety build-out, licensing, and working capital. This can come from cash, home equity, or eligible 401(k) rollover structures. We provide home-loan guidance as part of the partnership.

You do. The single-family home is purchased and held in your name — you are on title, you build the equity, and the mortgage principal you pay down is yours. Velora does not take title to your property. How the home’s long-term appreciation is shared between the partners is set out in the definitive partnership agreements.

Our economics depend on your occupancy, which is precisely why our incentives match yours — we only earn when your home is full. Filling beds is our job in this partnership: the Velora marketing engine, referral relationships, hospital discharge planners, and the website and search presence that already reach Central Valley and Bay Area families.

Yes. From Year 4 you hold a buyout right to purchase Velora’s stake at a preset formula — five to six times Velora’s trailing-twelve-month share — and own 100% of the operating business. The path to full ownership is written into the partnership from day one.

Our model for a stabilized 6-bed home indicates a partner share of roughly $133,000–$158,000 per year in operating cash flow, plus about $21,000 of first-year mortgage principal paydown and your share of the home’s appreciation. These are illustrative planning figures from our internal model — not a guarantee of earnings — and actual results depend on occupancy, rates, costs, financing, and your own management. We walk you through the complete model on the introductory call.

Six beds is California’s proven board-and-care format. It sits in ordinary residential neighbourhoods, keeps care intimate and personal, licenses faster than large congregate facilities, and — critically — the property remains a financeable single-family home rather than specialised commercial real estate.
