Meet Brandon Gustafson, Your Guide

Hi, I’m Brandon Gustafson. While living in Utah, I owned and operated two assisted living facilities—one in Colorado Springs and another in Nampa, Idaho. My experiences have equipped me to manage facilities remotely and deliver exceptional resident care. I’ll share my insights to help you navigate assisted living and achieve success more quickly.

What You’ll Learn Here

If you’re considering assisted living but feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Here’s how I can help you get started and succeed:

1. Finding the Right Deal

Learn to spot investment opportunities, work with brokers, and assess properties that meet your goals. With the right plan, you’ll feel confident in your investment choice.

2. Securing Funding

Wondering how to finance your facility? I’ll show you how to secure SBA loans and work with lenders to fund your dream business.
