Senior Living Fund

Senior Living Fund (SLF Investments) is a Kansas sponsor of private funds that invest in assisted living and memory care communities, sold directly to accredited investors. Its investment-options page lists five open offerings: two value-add funds and 15% notes raised to fund capital needs at communities its earlier funds already own. Its home page now leads with American Senior Housing Credit Fund, a note fund lending against stabilized communities, marked 'Opening Q4 2026'. Its fee schedules and community reports are public. AltStreet located no audited statements or fund-level results in public material.

What the data actually shows - TL;DR

Senior Living Fund has raised about $104 million across 15 private vehicles since 2015, usually as the equity partner beside outside developers and operators of assisted living and memory care communities. The public record shows one realized exit with a stated result: Torrance, California, a property sold in 2018 at a 20.1% IRR on Fund IV's $1 million investment in it.

Read the full assessment

That is a property-level result, not Fund IV's overall return. Its 2024 note offerings say pandemic deficits and higher interest rates 'dramatically drained reserves' and set capital needs of $3.85 million to $5.83 million for each of Funds IV, V and 6. The latest Form Ds located for those offerings, filed in November 2024 and January 2025, reported $150,000 to $425,000 sold on each.

The operator of a Detroit skilled nursing facility, 38.74% owned by Fund IV, went through Chapter 11 between April 2025 and March 2026. Fees are published, are charged on gross offering proceeds, and rank ahead of note interest in the debt fund. The home page now leads with a new credit fund marked 'Opening Q4 2026'.

1

Realized exit with a stated result in the public material: Torrance, California, sold October 31, 2018, 'with an IRR of 20.1% for SLF IV USA' on a $1,000,000 investment. It is the result of one property investment, not Fund IV's overall return or its investors' net return after fund expenses. The 2022 analyses planned to wind down Fund I by the end of 2023 and exit Fund III's communities in 2023 and 2024. AltStreet located no later public record of those exits.

$150K of $5.55M

Sold on the Fund 6 Fixed Rate Notes as of the January 2025 Form D/A, the latest notice located, against the capital need the offering page states for two Fund 6 communities, including payoff of notes owed to SLF Fixed Income Fund I. At their latest notices, the Fund IV notes showed $320,000 of $2.85 million and the Fund V notes $425,000 of $3.85 million. All three are still listed as open. These are dated figures: sales since then, and capital from other SLF funds, co-owners or outside sources, are not public, so the remaining need cannot be determined.

38.74%

Fund IV's interest in Mission Point of Detroit, LLC, the operator and tenant of a 59-bed skilled nursing facility, which filed Chapter 11 on April 16, 2025 after its bank loan matured in default. Its plan was confirmed October 2, 2025, and the case closed March 19, 2026. A plan filed in the related case of a co-owner of the building describes a tentative agreement for Senior Living Fund IV LLC, or an affiliate it designates, to buy the building for $7,250,000 and pay off the bank. AltStreet located no record of whether that purchase closed.

2% + 1.5% + 1.5%

Annual management fee, marketing stipend and reimbursable expenses in SLF Fixed Income Fund I, each a percentage of gross offering proceeds. The memorandum says note interest is paid only 'to the extent the Company has cash available after' these. Value-Add Fund 2 adds a one-time 7.0% marketing stipend and a 3.0% placement fee.

No audit located

The debt fund's memorandum promises 'unaudited internally generated financial statements annually'. The 2023 Value-Add FAQs expected a first audit by mid-2024 and said results would go to investors and to accredited prospective investors on request. AltStreet located no audit report or auditor name in public material and has not requested one, so audit status could not be verified.

Form D figures are the amounts sold on each vehicle's latest notice as of November 4, 2026, and related-person payments are the estimates the form asks for. Community occupancy, revenue and NOI figures come from the sponsor's newsletters and analyses and are not audited. They describe properties, not investor returns.

Quick Verdict

Is this platform right for you?

Senior Living Fund publishes its PPMs, fee schedules and community reports. Those documents show funds raising 15% notes to support communities whose reserves ran down, money lent between its own vehicles, and fees on gross proceeds.

Read the full assessment

No audited statements were located in public material. Its newest offering, a credit fund marked 'Opening Q4 2026', has no public PPM yet. Treat any offering as a loan to, or equity in, a specific fund whose balance sheet you should see first.

Best for

  • Accredited investors who know senior housing operations and will obtain each fund's financials and lender status before investing

Avoid if

  • You need audited statements or a realized fund-level track record before investing
  • You may need the money before maturity or a community sale
  • You are not accredited

Top strengths

  • Full PPMs, fee schedules and community-level analyses are public
  • Form Ds filed for all 15 vehicles
  • No regulatory action or suit naming the sponsor or its principals located
  • Several featured communities report high occupancy in 2025 and 2026

Key limitations

  • No audited statements or fund-level returns located in public material
  • Open notes fund capital needs at existing communities; the latest notices located (2024 and 2025) reported a small share sold
  • Routine lending between affiliated funds
  • Fees on gross offering proceeds, ranking ahead of note interest in the debt fund

What most investors want to know first

The highest-signal facts first: minimums, liquidity reality, K-1 timing, and whether distributions are actually part of the experience.

Liquidity

No secondary market.

K-1 Timing

Late K-1s possible: the funds wait for project-level K-1s (FAQ).

Distributions

Notes: monthly at 8%, around the 15th. Value-Add Fund 2: monthly for 36 months. Value-Add Fund 1: accrued until exits.

Overview

Platform Overview

A concise read on what the platform is, how the structure works, and where the practical friction shows up for real investors.

Senior Living Fund, LLC, a Nevada company formed in 2015 and based in Lenexa, Kansas, manages private funds for accredited investors under the SLF Investments name. Daniel T. (Dan) Brewer is the Chief Fund Manager; he also owns Bridge Capital Management, LLC. The funds put equity or loans into senior housing communities that outside sponsors develop and operators run, among them Carriage Crossing in Illinois, Frontier Management, and Generation Healthcare Managers. The 15 vehicles on EDGAR are Senior Living Funds I to 6 (2015 to 2020), SLF Fixed Income Fund I (a note fund that lends to communities and to the other SLF funds, $44.3 million sold), SLF Opportunity Fund I, SLF Marana Investors, the SLF 1031 Decatur DST, Value-Add Funds 1 and 2 (2022 and 2023), and three Fixed Rate Note offerings for Funds IV, V and 6 (2024).

Investors subscribe directly with the sponsor. No broker-dealer is named on the Form Ds, and no third-party offerings are listed.

It has invested beside developers since 2015, and its offerings now focus on value-add acquisitions and on notes that fund existing communities. The site lists about 30 community locations. The sponsor publishes PPMs, FAQs, quarterly analyses and monthly newsletters. Its investor portal is not public, and its audit status could not be verified from public material.

Sponsor and people

Senior Living Fund, LLC (Nevada, formed April 4, 2015), 8787 Renner Blvd, Lenexa, KS. Dan Brewer is Chief Fund Manager and owner of Bridge Capital Management, LLC. Mark Shader is COO, Rick Maner is CFO, Ellis Law Partners is legal and securities advisor, and Keller & Owens, LLC is tax advisor.

Registration

No FINRA or SEC adviser record for the sponsor, Brewer or Shader. Offerings rely on Rule 506(b) or 506(c) and Investment Company Act exemptions. The debt fund's memorandum says interests are sold by the company, the manager and their officers and employees.

Offerings shown (November 4, 2026)

The investment-options page lists five as 'currently open': Value-Add Fund 1 (12.00% to 21.00% projected fund IRR, preferred return accrues), Value-Add Fund 2 (10.50% to 20.00%, preferred payments monthly for 36 months), and F4, F5 and F6 Fixed Rate Notes (15% a year: 8 points paid monthly, 7 accrued, three-year term), each with a $50,000 minimum. The home page and menu now lead with American Senior Housing Credit Fund, marked 'Opening Q4 2026', with a $100,000 minimum and a five-year minimum term. Whether the five older offerings are still accepting money was not confirmed with the sponsor.

Fees

Debt fund: 2% a year on gross offering proceeds, marketing stipend up to 1.5% a year including referral and finder's fees, expenses up to 1.5% a year, and discretionary transaction fees. Value-Add Fund 2 (2023 FAQ): 2.0% base a year, plus 3.0% a year deferred until investors have received their preferred payments and capital in full; 7.0% one-time marketing stipend; 3.0% placement fee. Decatur DST: 5.0% of trust assets a year and a $200,000 fee to the sponsor. American Senior Housing Credit Fund (FAQ): 2.00% a year on outstanding note principal, start-up expenses capped at 1.50% of the maximum offering. F4, F5 and F6 notes: not public.

Liquidity

No secondary market. Notes: early redemption at the manager's discretion ('under no obligation to approve'), best efforts within 90 days. Debt fund: automatic one-year rollovers unless notice is given in a one-month window, and redemptions can be suspended. Value-Add Fund 1: distributions 'until the latter portions of Fund life'.

Reporting

Debt fund: 'unaudited internally generated financial statements annually'. Value-Add FAQs (2023): first audit expected mid-2024, results on request. AltStreet located no audit report in public material and did not request one. Public quarterly analyses run to 2024, and monthly newsletters report community figures.

Vehicles on EDGAR

15 filers, about $104 million sold on their latest Form Ds. The largest are Fixed Income Fund I ($44.3M, 179 investors, May 2024), Fund V ($16.1M), Fund I ($10.9M), Decatur DST ($7.0M) and Fund 6 ($6.5M).

Court record

In re Mission Point of Detroit, LLC (Bankr. E.D. Mich. 25-43883): Fund IV holds 38.74% of the operator of a 59-bed skilled nursing facility, and the debt fund is a listed creditor. Chapter 11 April 2025, plan confirmed October 2025, case closed March 2026. In the related case of HRM Detroit Holding, LLC (25-43887), a co-owner of the building, the plan describes a tentative $7,250,000 purchase of the building by Senior Living Fund IV LLC or an affiliate; whether it closed was not located. No suit or regulatory action naming the sponsor or its principals was located.

Visual Summary

The open note offerings against their stated capital needs

Capital need from each offering page; amount sold from the latest Form D located (dated figures). No later notice was located for any of the three, and the pages say the need also depends on capital from other SLF funds, co-owners and outside sources.

F4 (Fund IV notes)

Form D 2024-11-22 | $320,000 of $2,850,000, 2 investors; need $5,830,000 across five communities, target cut to $2,850,000 citing 'other capital raising initiatives'

F5 (Fund V notes)

Form D/A 2025-01-07 | $425,000 of $3,850,000, 2 investors; need $3,850,000 across two communities

F6 (Fund 6 notes)

Form D/A 2025-01-07 | $150,000 of $5,550,000, 1 investor; need $5,550,000 including payoff of notes owed to Fixed Income Fund I

Value-Add Fund 1

Form D/A 2025-06-30 | $2,816,400 of $25,000,000 (the form shows 0 investors)

Value-Add Fund 2

Form D/A 2025-07-03 | $3,415,000 of $25,000,000, 10 investors

ASWhere the money goes and what ranks first

  • In the debt fund, the manager's fee, marketing stipend and expenses are paid before note interest, and interest is paid only from cash available after them.
  • The note offerings rank ahead of each fund's equity investors and behind the community lenders. The offering pages' worked example assumes sales after the market recovers.
  • The Decatur DST raised money from 1031 investors and used it to redeem the debt fund, Bridge Capital Management and another original owner. It paid the sponsor a $200,000 conversion fee, and the trust was valued at $14.7 million against an $11.6 million appraisal. The gap is made up of reserves, closing costs, the fee and a lien holdback.

Key Gaps & Non-Disclosures

  • No audited statements or fund-level results.
  • No current figures on interfund loans.
  • Note-offering fees not public.

Investment Structures

Equity funds (Senior Living Funds I to 6)

Pooled funds, 2015 to 2020, that took equity positions in development and stabilized communities. They are closed to new money, and Funds IV, V and 6 are raising notes to support their communities.

Value-Add Funds 1 and 2

Acquisitions of underperforming existing communities, with 6 to 10 projects targeted per fund. Fund 1 accrues a 7% to 10% annualized preferred return by investment level. Fund 2 pays preferred payments at annualized rates of 7.0% to 8.5%, paid monthly, for 36 months.

Both have back-end profit sharing. After investors receive their preferred returns or payments and their capital contributions, distributions go 85% to investors and 15% to the manager until its deferred fee is paid, then 100% to investors.

Fixed Rate Notes (F4, F5, F6)

Unsecured three-year notes of Funds IV, V and 6 at 15% a year (8 percentage points paid monthly, 7 accrued to maturity), prepayable without penalty and paid 'from available Fund cash'.

American Senior Housing Credit Fund (marked 'Opening Q4 2026')

Payment-dependent notes of a new fund that will make secured loans to stabilized senior housing (80%+ occupancy and NOI ratio above 20% over 12 months), often with a HUD refinance as the planned exit. Senior, Mezzanine and Junior levels; 6.00% to 12.00% projected IRR; $100,000 minimum; five-year minimum term, seven to ten years targeted for Junior, plus a possible two-year extension. Investors 'do not have direct ownership, participation, or security interest' in the loans or collateral.

Interest is paid quarterly after the first six months, some of it deferred to maturity, and the FAQ says that in the first two years 'proceeds from the Investor Notes may be utilized for the fulfillment of Fixed Rate payments'. Redemption is at the managers' 'total discretion'. The fund may borrow from Senior Living Fund or its affiliates. The page calls itself informational and says no offer will be made until final documents are delivered; no PPM or Form D was located, and a Form D is due within 15 days of a first sale.

SLF Fixed Income Fund I

Unsecured debt instruments in Classes A to D at 7.00% to 10.00% depending on issue date and class, with automatic one-year rollovers. The fund lends to and invests in communities and other SLF funds. It raised $44.3 million from 2018 to 2024.

SLF 1031 Decatur DST and single-asset vehicles

A 2021 DST for 1031 investors owning Carriage Crossing Senior Living Decatur, with a $5,000,000 mortgage at 4.5% maturing December 2025. SLF Marana Investors is a single-community vehicle.

Risk

Risk Structure

This is where the marketplace pitch gives way to the actual operating reality: delayed exits, limited disclosure, fee drag, and path-dependent outcomes.

Capital needs at existing communities

The open notes fund operating support and lender demands at communities the earlier funds own. Their repayment depends on later sales of those communities.

Interfund lending

The debt fund lends to the equity funds and to a developer partner, and the equity funds borrow to repay it, so losses in one vehicle can pass to another.

Fees on gross proceeds, ahead of interest

In the debt fund, the manager's fees and expenses are paid before note interest, whatever the fund earns.

Audit status not verifiable in public

No audit report or auditor name is public for any vehicle. The debt fund's memorandum promises unaudited statements, and the 2023 FAQs anticipated audits from 2024 with results available on request. Until an investor sees an audit, the value behind the notes rests on the sponsor's own figures.

Operator and developer dependence

Results depend on outside operators and developers. One developer counterparty, Jeffrey J. Bentley, was denied a bankruptcy discharge in 2021 for false oaths; SLF was not a party.

Lending to funds that need capital

The 15% notes fund communities whose reserves the sponsor says were drained. The latest notices located, from November 2024 and January 2025, reported a small share of the stated need sold.

Why it matters

The offering pages say the need also depends on asset performance and on capital from other SLF funds, co-owners and outside sources, none of which is public, so how much of the need remains cannot be determined from public material. The notes are paid only from fund cash and sale proceeds.

Mitigation / verification

Ask for each fund's latest balance sheet, its lender status by community, the amount raised to date from all sources, and the reserve set aside for note interest.

Linked vehicles

The debt fund lent $6.77 million to three equity funds by the end of 2022, and the Fund 6 notes would partly repay it.

Why it matters

A debt fund investor's return depends on the equity funds, and new note investors may be repaying earlier ones.

Mitigation / verification

Request the current interfund loan schedule, interest status and the terms approved for each loan.

Results not shown

Apart from the 2018 Torrance property exit, a 20.1% IRR on Fund IV's $1 million investment in that one property, no fund-level return, distribution history or wind-down result is public.

Why it matters

Projected IRRs of 6% to 21% have no realized fund-level record in public to compare against.

Mitigation / verification

Ask for each closed or winding-down fund's capital returned, distributions paid and final IRR, and for the audit report mentioned in the FAQs.

Community distress

The operator of a Fund IV facility went through Chapter 11 in 2025, and an SLF entity proposed to buy the building to pay off the bank.

Why it matters

Equity in a reorganizing operator can be diluted or wiped out; the co-owner's plan estimates no distribution to Mission Point's equity holders for at least five years. If an SLF fund bought the building, more SLF capital is tied to the facility.

Mitigation / verification

Ask how the confirmed plan treated Fund IV's 38.74% interest and the debt fund's claim, whether the $7.25 million purchase closed, which entity bought and with what money, and whether any other community is in default or forbearance.

Biggest Misconceptions & What Actually Happens

  • '100% of your investment will be placed directly into the Fund': there is no front-end load, and the fund pays management, marketing and placement fees from its assets.
  • 'Senior housing is performing well': the newsletters cite industry occupancy near 90%. That describes the market, not these funds' returns.
  • '~$100 million in revenues during 2025': this is revenue at the communities, most of which goes to operating costs and lenders, not fund income.
  • 'Unsecured' notes: the FAQs describe repayment as 'backed and supported by the equity or net worth of the Fund', and the noteholder has no claim on any specific property.

Regulatory & Legal Posture

Security Status

Regulation D private placements (Rule 506(b) and 506(c)), with Investment Company Act sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(5) claimed on the Form Ds.

These rules require only a Form D notice, not public financial statements. Rule 506(c) allows general solicitation to verified accredited investors.

Disclosure Quality

Moderate in public: two full PPMs, FAQs and analyses, but no audited statements located and nothing after 2024 at the fund level.

Custody Model

Investors subscribe directly with each fund. Money and records are held by the sponsor's funds, with a portal at FundAdministrationCenter.com.

Regulatory Backing

No broker-dealer or registered adviser is involved, according to the Form Ds and searches. Whether finder's fees paid from the marketing stipend comply with broker registration rules is a question for the sponsor.

Tax Treatment

Reporting

Equity and value-add funds: Schedule K-1. Notes and Fixed Income Fund I: Form 1099.

The FAQs say the funds cannot issue K-1s until they receive K-1s from each project, which can push delivery past the IRS issuance date.

Income Character

Pass-through rental and operating income, depreciation and gains (equity funds); interest (notes).

The value-add page notes that investors 'can participate in pass-through gains and losses, which may provide meaningful tax advantages depending on individual circumstances'.

Limitation

Accrued note interest may be taxable before it is paid, depending on the note terms. Confirm with a tax adviser.

Account Suitability

Taxable

Both structures are available to taxable investors.

Roth IRA

The FAQs accept IRA money. Leveraged real estate in an equity fund can create UBTI, so ask the custodian and a tax adviser.

Traditional IRA

Same UBTI question for equity funds. Notes generate interest.

HSA

Not suitable in practice.

Independent intelligence from AltStreet. No hype. No sponsor spin.

AS

AltStreet Data Layer

What the data actually shows

AltStreet read every Form D of the 15 vehicles, the public PPMs and analyses, and the federal court records naming the funds.

Finding

Debt fund is the largest vehicle

SLF Fixed Income Fund I sold $44.3 million by May 2024, up from $32.1 million in June 2022. The investor count on the notices fell from 269 to 179 over the same period.

What this means

A falling investor count with rising cumulative sales may reflect redemptions or consolidation, and only the fund can say which.

Warning

Latest note notices: $895,000 of $12.25 million

The latest Form Ds located for F4, F5 and F6, filed in November 2024 and January 2025, reported $895,000 sold of $12.25 million offered. No later notice was located.

What this means

These are dated figures. The amount raised since, and capital from other SLF funds, co-owners or outside sources, is not public, so the remaining need cannot be determined. Rule 503 calls for an annual amendment while an offering continues; ask whether these offerings are still selling.

Finding

Related-person estimates corrected

The first Form Ds for the Fund V and Fund 6 notes estimated $1,347,500 and $1,942,500 of proceeds to related persons, which was 35% of each offering. Amendments a few weeks later cut these to $134,750 and $194,250.

What this means

The amended figures equal 3.5% of each offering, which suggests a decimal correction.

Finding

Community figures, not fund figures

Newsletters report Grand Montecito at 100% occupancy (Q4 2025), Bloomington at 102% of target exit NOI (2025) and Value-Add Fund 1 at 227.5 of 342 units filled (Q1 2026).

What this means

These show how specific properties are doing, not what investors have earned.

Who This Is Not For

This section should be read as a filter, not an afterthought. If you need income, simplicity, or near-term access to capital, the structure is working against you.

Non-accredited investors

All offerings are for accredited investors.

Investors who need liquidity

Redemption is discretionary and there is no secondary market.

Investors who require audited statements

None were located in public material; ask whether the audits the FAQs anticipated exist.

Editorial View

AltStreet Perspective

The compressed version of the review: what matters, what marketing tends to obscure, and how we would frame the platform for a serious allocator.

Verdict

A sponsor whose own documents describe funds under strain, raising high-rate notes to support them, with fees on gross proceeds and no audit located in public material.

Positioning

Treat each offering as credit to a specific fund, and see its balance sheet first.

The Bottom Line

The paperwork is open; the numbers that matter are not.

Action

Next Steps

If you still want to engage after reading the review, these are the practical next moves that reduce avoidable mistakes.

1

Ask for the latest balance sheet, lender status by community and interfund loan schedule of the fund you would lend to or invest in.

2

Ask for the audit report the FAQs anticipated for 2024, or confirm that none exists.

3

Ask for the capital returned, distributions and final IRR of Funds I and III, which were to wind down by 2024.

4

Ask how the Mission Point of Detroit plan treated Fund IV and SLF Fixed Income Fund I, and whether the proposed $7.25 million building purchase closed and how it was funded.

5

For American Senior Housing Credit Fund, ask for the PPM, the issuing entity, its exemption, and how much interest in the first two years will be paid from investor proceeds.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

High-intent search questions answered directly, without making users hunt through the full review.

Q

Is Senior Living Fund (SLF Investments) legit?

It is a real sponsor that has filed Form Ds for 15 vehicles since 2015, about $104 million sold, and publishes its PPMs and fee schedules. AltStreet located no regulatory action or lawsuit naming the sponsor or its principals. The concerns are about the funds, not the paperwork: AltStreet located no audited statements in public material, one realized property exit has a stated result, and its open notes fund capital needs at communities its earlier funds own.

Q

What are the 15% Fixed Rate Notes?

Unsecured three-year notes issued by Senior Living Funds IV, V and 6 at 15% a year: 8 percentage points paid monthly and 7 accrued until maturity. The pages say the money supports the funds' existing communities, whose reserves were drained by pandemic deficits and higher rates. The notes rank ahead of the funds' equity investors and behind the community lenders.

Q

How much have the note offerings raised?

By their last Form Ds: $320,000 of $2.85 million for Fund IV (November 2024), $425,000 of $3.85 million for Fund V and $150,000 of $5.55 million for Fund 6 (both January 2025). No later notice was located, so current totals are not public. The offering pages say the need also depends on capital from other SLF funds, co-owners and outside sources.

Q

What fees does SLF charge?

There is no front-end load, and the funds pay fees based on gross offering proceeds. SLF Fixed Income Fund I pays 2% a year plus up to 1.5% for marketing and up to 1.5% for expenses. Value-Add Fund 2 pays 2.0% a year plus a 3.0% deferred fee a year that is paid only after investors have received their preferred payments and capital in full, a one-time 7.0% marketing stipend and a 3.0% placement fee. Value-Add Fund 1 adds a 2% loan origination fee. The Decatur DST pays 5.0% of trust assets a year. American Senior Housing Credit Fund's FAQ states 2.00% a year on outstanding note principal plus start-up expenses up to 1.50% of the maximum offering. The F4, F5 and F6 note fees are in PPMs that are not public.

Q

Are SLF's funds audited?

AltStreet could not verify audit status from public material: it located no audit report or auditor name and has not requested one. The debt fund's memorandum promises unaudited internal statements each year. The 2023 Value-Add FAQs expected a first audit by mid-2024 and said results would be available to investors and to accredited prospective investors on request.

Q

What returns has Senior Living Fund delivered?

Public material shows one exit with a stated result: Torrance, California, sold in 2018 at a 20.1% IRR on Fund IV's $1 million investment in that property. That is a property-level result, not Fund IV's overall return or its investors' net return after fund expenses. The 2022 analyses projected mid-to-upper single-digit IRRs for Fund I and 10%+ for Fund III, with exits in 2023 and 2024. AltStreet located no later public report of those results. Ask the sponsor for the capital returned and final IRR of each fund.

Q

What happened with Mission Point of Detroit?

Mission Point of Detroit, LLC operates a 59-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Detroit, in a building it leases from three co-owners. Senior Living Fund IV USA holds 38.74% of the operator. It filed Chapter 11 on April 16, 2025 after its Huntington Bank loan matured in default and the bank sought a receiver. The court confirmed its plan on October 2, 2025, and closed the case on March 19, 2026. SLF Fixed Income Fund I is in the creditor list. In the related case of HRM Detroit Holding, a co-owner of the building, the plan describes a tentative agreement for Senior Living Fund IV LLC, or an affiliate it designates, to buy the building for $7,250,000, which the debtor expected to pay the bank in full, subject to court approval and higher offers. AltStreet located no record of whether the purchase closed. The bankruptcy itself does not show that a lender took the property.

Q

Do SLF funds lend to each other?

Yes. At the end of 2022, SLF Fixed Income Fund I had lent $4.25 million to Fund I, $1.92 million to Fund 6 and $600,000 to Fund IV, plus $675,600 to a developer partner. The Fund 6 notes would partly repay the debt fund. The memorandum says affiliate transactions 'will routinely occur' and are not subject to independent approval.

Q

Can I withdraw early?

Only with the manager's consent. Note early redemption is at the Fund Manager's discretion ('under no obligation to approve'), with best efforts to pay within 90 days. Fixed Income Fund I notes roll over each year unless notice is given in a one-month window, and redemptions can be suspended. There is no secondary market.

Q

What is the minimum investment?

$50,000 for the five offerings the investment-options page lists as open, and $100,000 with a five-year minimum term for American Senior Housing Credit Fund, marked 'Opening Q4 2026'. Accredited investors only. IRA, trust, entity and non-US investors with an ITIN are accepted.

Q

Who runs Senior Living Fund?

Dan Brewer, Chief Fund Manager and owner of Bridge Capital Management, LLC; Mark Shader, Chief Operating Officer; Rick Maner, Chief Financial Officer. Neither the firm nor its principals hold FINRA or SEC adviser registrations, according to public searches.

Q

What is American Senior Housing Credit Fund?

SLF's newest offering, now the first one on its home page, marked 'Opening Q4 2026'. It will issue payment-dependent notes at Senior, Mezzanine and Junior levels (6.00% to 12.00% projected IRR, $100,000 minimum, five-year minimum term) and make secured loans to stabilized senior housing, often planning a HUD refinance as the exit. Noteholders have no security interest in the loans or collateral; they are paid only as the loans pay. The FAQ says that in the first two years note proceeds may be used to pay the fixed-rate interest, redemption is at the managers' discretion, and the fund may borrow from Senior Living Fund or its affiliates. Fees are 2.00% a year on outstanding note principal plus start-up expenses up to 1.50% of the maximum offering. No PPM or Form D was located as of November 4, 2026; a Form D is due within 15 days of a first sale. Ask for the PPM, the issuing entity and its exemption.
