Ep 29: Loren Ostrow, Living Out

Loren Ostrow spent over two decades thinking about building senior housing for the LGBTQ community before he ever broke ground. In this episode, he tells the story of Living Out — one of the first senior living communities in the country built specifically for LGBTQ seniors — and how it finally came together in Palm Springs with his business partner of 50 years, Paul Alanis. We talk about why Loren was so certain this would work, how he raised $29 million in equity in three weeks, the fight to win over a skeptical lender, and the lesson from his mom that's shaped every partnership in his career.
