What You Actually Own
A licensed 6-bed residential care home serving private-pay Bay Area families — California’s proven board-and-care format.
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.
You become the certified administrator and the heart of the home. This is hands-on ownership — a business you run, not a stock you watch.

Who We’re Looking For
You already do the work. Now own the home you do it in.
Clinical judgment families trust, paired with real ownership.
You know operations. Put that expertise to work for yourself.
Heart, capital, and the commitment to lead a home day to day.
We accept 2 partners for the 2027 Bay Area cohort. Selection is mutual — we’re choosing a decade-long partner, and so are you.
Questions
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.
