Why Property Investors Struggle to Connect with Care Providers—And How We Solved It

14th November 2025

When property investors first explore supported living, many assume finding care providers will be straightforward. A quick Google search, a few phone calls, and they'll be on their way. The reality is very different. 

Investors often spend months cold calling care providers with minimal success. Emails go unanswered. Phone calls lead nowhere. Some providers only work with housing associations. Others buy their own properties. The barriers seem endless, and the frustration mounts. 

The Problem: Too Many Investors, Not Enough Time 

Here's what most property investors don't realise: care providers are being contacted constantly by investors trying to lease properties to them. They're inundated with calls, emails, and enquiries from people they've never heard of, offering properties that may not suit their needs. 

For care providers, responding to every enquiry simply isn't feasible. They're busy running care services, managing staff, and looking after vulnerable people. Sifting through dozens of unsuitable property offers isn't their priority—and frankly, it shouldn't be. 

The result? Most cold approaches go nowhere. Investors waste time and money chasing leads that will never convert. Care providers miss out on potentially good properties because they're too overwhelmed to engage. Everyone loses. 

The Solution: A Platform That Does the Hard Work 

This is exactly why we created Supported Living Gateway. We've done the hard work for you by bringing together care providers who are actively looking for properties. 

When investors join the Gateway and list their properties, they connect with care providers who are genuinely interested. No more cold calling. No more dead ends. Just straightforward connections with people actively seeking properties. 

The difference? Our care provider members have chosen to be here. They want to hear from property investors. They're actively searching for suitable properties in specific areas. When you list a property on the Gateway, you're not interrupting their day—you're offering a solution they're looking for. 

From Months of Searching to Weeks 

We regularly hear from investors who spent months unsuccessfully cold calling dozens of providers, only to find the right partner within weeks of joining the Gateway. They secure long-term leases on properties they'd previously struggled to place with anyone else. 

These partnerships work because both parties come together willingly, with clear intentions. No awkward cold calls. No mismatched expectations. Just two parties looking for the same thing, finding each other through a platform designed to make those connections happen. 

What Makes the Gateway Different 

The Gateway isn't just a property listing site. It's a curated community of investors and care providers who understand the supported living sector. Our care provider members are actively seeking properties. They know what they're looking for, and they're ready to engage with serious investors. 

For property investors, this means your time is spent productively. Instead of making dozens of calls that go nowhere, you can list your property once and connect with providers who are genuinely interested in what you have to offer. 

We've done the groundwork of bringing the right people together. All you need to do is show up with a suitable property. 

Stop Wasting Time—Start Making Connections 

If you're a property investor thinking about supported living, don't make the mistake of cold calling dozens of providers. Join a platform where care providers are already looking for you. 

The Gateway takes the guesswork out of finding the right partners. We've built the connections so you don't have to.
