ALF Smart Deal helps assisted living operators screen properties the way regulators will: against real licensing rules, real bed-count math, and real infrastructure requirements. Live today in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Georgia.
Whether you're licensing your tenth home or your first one, ALF Smart Deal gives every operator a structured way to evaluate any property against the actual physical, regulatory, and financial requirements of a licensed ALF — before you sign a lease, wire a deposit, or call an inspector.
State-compliant capacity using each state’s square-footage minimums, bath ratios, and parking requirements — OHCQ in Maryland, VDSS (22 VAC 40-73) in Virginia, AHCA (59A-36) in Florida, DCH (111-8-62) in Georgia.
Type A/B/C in Maryland, single ALF license with levels of care in Virginia, Standard + specialty licenses in Florida, personal care home vs assisted living community in Georgia — the platform tells you what applies and links to the permit portal.
Zero-step entry, property style, HOA group-home restrictions, conditional use — all flagged before you schedule a visit.
Electrical, septic, sprinkler, water, oil tank — the silent deal-killers that emerge after the lease is signed.
All 24 Maryland counties, 133 Virginia jurisdictions, 67 Florida counties, and 159 Georgia counties profiled for licensing difficulty, saturation, and timeline. The highest-volume Virginia, Florida, and Georgia markets get the deepest coverage.
Every deal generates a Claude-written memo with a brief addressed specifically to the operator: licensing path, day-one capex, resident demand, and operational risks — not generic ALF advice.

You already know what a good home looks like. You've been through OHCQ inspections, made payroll, survived the 3 AM calls. What you don't have is time — and the last thing you want is to repeat a mistake from your first acquisition on your second, third, or fifth.
Starting your first assisted living home is a big decision. If you're reading this, you've probably already done more research than most people realize is possible.
Here's the good news: the operators we built this for — nurses, CNAs, social workers, caregivers — do succeed, every day. What separates the ones who thrive from the ones who struggle usually comes down to a single decision: the property.
Residential assisted living exists because families need somewhere safe, warm, and well-run to entrust the people they love. The industry needs more good operators — and the operators who last are the ones who started on solid ground.
Whether it's your first home or your fifth, the decision is the same: is this property actually the one? ALF Smart Deal gives you a structured, data-backed answer in under fifteen minutes.
