Owns senior living communities and medical office/life-science buildings, with senior living run by third-party operators.
Rents out medical offices and life-science labs for lease income, while in senior living it keeps the resident fees and pays operators a management fee, so occupancy and care costs flow to the owner. Day-to-day management is outsourced to The RMR Group under a management contract.
Moat: none. Operator dependence and senior-living oversupply have pressured returns; no clear structural edge.
