#139 - Senior Living: Aging Demand, Limited Supply with Radhika Rastogi
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most W-2 professionals assume building wealth means buying more homes, Radhika Rastogi did too, until she sat in her garage during COVID and did the math.
Radhika Rastogi is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Relik Capital Group, a private equity firm specializing in senior living real estate syndications.
With over 10 years of real estate investing experience, a background leading strategic initiatives for Fortune 100 companies, and deep expertise in Medicaid-funded healthcare programs, she now oversees a portfolio of 300+ senior housing units valued at $17 million.
In this episode, she breaks down why senior living is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for high-income professionals: the 80+ population is growing 28% over the next four years, the national investment gap sits at $258 billion, and occupancy in many markets is already at 98–99% with wait lists.
Radhika explains the three phases of senior housing, how her team acquires underperforming communities for under $100K per unit, and why she interviewed 75 operators before selecting the right regional partners.
She also reveals the hidden revenue stream most mom-and-pop sellers miss entirely, level of care fees and how spotting that one gap can transform a deal's returns.
For W-2 investors feeling stuck in unscalable residential strategies, this episode is a masterclass in making the shift to commercial real estate syndications — starting with as little as $50K and building lasting wealth without leaving your day job.
