Q: I read about the boom in housing for seniors and wonder if it is too late to invest. What would be a good way to capitalize on this?

A: The fastest growing section of the population is the 85 and older crowd and so this certainly has the fundamental potential to be a growth market. The affluent members of this group can afford nice places to stay often priced at $300,000 per unit and up while the costs of constructing such housing is often less than other types of housing. So, of course, and so this is an investment area that is now drawing attention and capital. Consider the stocks of smaller regional builders who specialize in this market. Avoid the limited partnerships that seem to be flooding the market.
