Jasmine was homeless when she first found us.

Within her first year, she used landlord partnerships to start a group home business with no money down, following our step-by-step model and opening multiple homes.

Today, Jasmine operates service-based group homes, allowing her to provide care services, bill Medicaid and Medicare, and build a more sustainable, scalable operation than a housing-only model.

In this 2-hour, in-depth Group Home Riches Podcast interview, we break down:
• How to start a group home with no money or prior experience
• How landlord partnerships work in real group home startups
• How to transition from housing-only to service-based group homes
• How Medicaid and Medicare billing fits into the group home model
• Common misunderstandings around licensing and adding services
• Who this group home business is a good fit for—and who it’s not

Jasmine is now offering consulting services to help operators add the service side the right way, and we’re partnering with her to support those ready to do it correctly.

If you’re exploring how to build a compliant, service-based group home and want clear guidance from someone who’s done it, this is the right next step.

The biggest lie in real estate?
That you need money, perfect timing, or decades of experience to win.

The truth: you don’t need huge capital, flawless timing, or years of experience to start a group home business. And no—AI isn’t hype. With the right systems, you can launch, scale, and stay ahead using modern tools.

Group homes often generate stronger cash flow than traditional rentals, while churches, charities, and nonprofits can become reliable referral sources that keep homes full.

In this Q&A episode of the Group Home Riches Podcast, we break down:
✔ How group homes outperform rentals in cash flow
✔ Referral sources most investors overlook
✔ Why most beginners don’t need funding to start
✔ A simple blueprint for scaling multiple homes
✔ Andy’s management system (AppFolio) and why it simplifies operations
✔ What semi-retirement looks like when assets pay the bills
✔ How AI tools like Grok and ChatGPT are changing real estate

Andy Rothschild, founder of Group Home Riches, breaks the funding myth and explains how students scale by dialing in marketing—not raising massive capital. He also shares how he uses AppFolio and AI for compliance, escrow checks, and daily operations, plus the risks of using AI the wrong way.

The last few episodes have documented the beginning stages of the journey. We love sharing these stories because they’re so relatable to most of our listeners.

Originally, we were going to switch it up and publish a fewinterviews with people who have built million-dollar businesses in this industry. But when we saw a post from Damon in the Skool Group, we had to pivot!

If you’re just getting started, drawn to this business forthe chance to create generational wealth while helping your community—but feeling stuck on where to begin—then Damon was in your shoes just a few months ago.

We recently held a competition in our Skool Group focused on the first action step we recommend: marketing.

Not licensing. Not certifications. Not health departmentapprovals. Not grants. Not funding. Not raising capital. Not working on credit. Not saving money. Not even buying real estate.

Just marketing.

Emails, phone calls, ads, flyers, networking events, or evengood old-fashioned door knocking.

The competition challenge was simple: visit localorganizations that work with people in need of affordable housing (what we call “referral sources”)—and see who could get 5 good contacts the fastest.

Everyone who participated won in their own way, but Damonwas the first to cross the finish line.

This interview is a perfect look into what Damon wentthrough to win—live from the trenches, before all the properties.
