Most landlords are told that consistent cash flow comes from buying rental properties and collecting checks. The reality? Missed payments, constant repairs, and unexpected damage quickly turn rentals into a headache—and the margins often don’t justify the stress.

On this episode of the Group Home Riches Podcast, hear how Mark Jones left traditional rentals behind and built a group home business producing nearly 10x the cash flow without adding more chaos. With two homes operating and a third underway, Mark shares how he got started with no prior experience and scaled efficiently using a solid business plan.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• The key differences between group homes vs traditional rentals
• Why group homes consistently outperform rentals in cash flow
• How Mark started and scaled without prior experience
• How the right business plan shortens the learning curve

Mark’s story shows that landlords can stop “fixing” broken rentals and start building a stable, scalable, cash-flowing business from day one.

How do I start a group home if I don’t have any money to buy a house?

This is one of the most common questions we get—and in this episode, we put that question to bed.

You don’t need a loan.

• How to build a referral pipeline that attracts consistent investor interest

If you’re familiar with our Gold Course, you already know you don’t need licenses or certifications to start a Group Home. Many residents may need health services—and instead of providing them yourself, you can outsource through strategic partnerships, especially with Home Health agencies.

That’s why we sat down with Carlos, who runs a 7-figure Home Health empire, to give you an inside look at the mindset, relationships, and opportunities that exist beyond just owning Group Homes.

This episode is a must-listen if you want to know:

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.

Many people think they need tons of capital, government grants, licensing, certifications, and even a property renovated to “assisted living” code before they can get started.

Dr. Al and Taylor are proof that you don’t need any of that.

After getting married in college, they both went into business with the goal of building generational wealth. When they hit some bumps recently, they discovered our channel while looking for ideas to get out of their financial hole and continue building their legacy.

Instead of wasting time chasing funding, property, or licensing, they jumped straight into the steps outlined in our Gold Course. They pitched their business to a local investor—and now they’re off to the races. At the time of recording, they were already in the process of opening their second home.

This is just the beginning of their journey.

We dive into the mental challenges, the ups and downs, and the roadblocks you’ll face in the early stages of this business. If you’re serious about starting your first group home, this episode is a must-listen.

You’ll see how you can get started:

• Without licensing
• Without certifications
• Without special zoning
• Without property to begin with
• And with little to no money.
