In this episode, we’re joined by Mackey Hughes, senior loan officer at Live Oak Bank—one of the country’s top SBA lenders, and a true champion of residential assisted living operators. 💰🏡

Mackey brings a rare mix of legal, financial, and field expertise to the world of senior housing. As part of Live Oak’s dedicated senior housing team, he’s helped build a nationwide lending platform that’s putting assisted living ownership within reach for everyday entrepreneurs.
