Learn how we help buyers evaluate ALF opportunities.
Business, Real Estate or Both?
Some ALFs in Naples and Collier County are sold as business-only transactions with leased real estate. Others include both the business and the property. Buyers should separate the value of the operating business from the value of the real estate when evaluating the asking price.

Southwest Florida Property Considerations
Real estate values, insurance costs and property characteristics can materially affect an ALF acquisition in Southwest Florida. Buyers should review roof age, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, wind and hurricane exposure, flood considerations when applicable, property condition and any improvements needed before or after closing.
Local Zoning and Use Requirements
Naples, unincorporated Collier County and nearby municipalities may have different zoning, permitting and land-use requirements. A buyer should verify the intended use based on the exact property address and jurisdiction rather than assuming that a residential property can automatically operate as an ALF.
6-Bed vs. Larger ALF
The number of licensed beds can affect revenue potential, staffing, property requirements, insurance and management complexity. Buyers should compare actual financial performance, not just bed count.

Review the Financials Before You Buy
Important items may include revenue, operating expenses, payroll, occupancy, resident rates, rent or mortgage expense, insurance, food, utilities, maintenance and working capital needs. Gross revenue alone does not determine whether the business is attractive.
Use our ALF Due Diligence Checklist before you close.
Insurance Matters in Southwest Florida
Insurance should be evaluated early, especially when the real estate is part of the transaction. Depending on the facility, coverage may include General Liability, Professional Liability, Property Insurance, Workers’ Compensation, Commercial Auto and specialized endorsements. Property age, roof, construction, wind exposure and claims history may also affect availability and pricing.
