Group Home Riches

On today's episode of the Group Home Riches podcast we sit down with Orlando who is a brand new member of THE GOLD COURSE (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO).

Even though he found us just a few weeks ago, he has already secured 2 properties to operate out of and was moving in his first tenant the day after recording our podcast. 

How can you get a Group Home business up and running so quick you might ask?

Well to start, contrary to popular belief there really is no lengthy legal process required. You don't need to get a license, or a certification, or zoning approval, or permission from anyone to start. 

Once you understand your rights as a landlord, your tenants' rights, and wrap your head around the idea of "outsourcing" any services your tenants may need, you just need to START!

The first step is to start marketing your future Group Home. Reach out to local agencies that work with people who are in need of this type of housing, find out where the opportunities are and the demand is, and when you're comfortable and confident enough go find a property! 

There are a number of different strategies to secure a property. 2 of the most popular are partnering with landlords with zero money down, or like Orlando did, just simply lease a property. 

On the podcast we really dial in on some of the key points to doing this. 

We know these are topics a lot of beginner's struggle with so we went into as much details as possible for you!

On today's episode we have another veteran from our private Facebook group for GOLD COURSE MEMBERS. 

We've been watching him drop gems for so long in the group, that it was great to finally chat with him! 

Albert has been in the game for almost 10 years, and as expected he packs this episode with knowledge that you absolutely need to hear if you want to be a Group Home entrepreneur yourself. 

Through his experience in the medical field, he was fortunate enough to meet a mentor/partner who had started out running "care homes". 

Just as we teach in THE GOLD COURSE if you're on a tight budget, they started out by leasing their first couple of properties. 

We talk about how Albert pitched them, some negotiating points, and why ultimately we believe you should eventually want to operate your homes using what we call "The McDonald's Method". 

**HINT** McDonald's #1 Revenue Generating Activity is NOT selling food ;)

One of the many advantages of this industry is that once you learn the fundamentals, there are so many different routes you can take. Licensed homes, unlicensed homes, Real Estate Investing, providing services, and a number of different demographics that you can serve. 

While we prefer to focus on the business side of things like marketing, networking, outsourcing, and systems to scaling, you can tell that Albert is truly energized by helping his tenants/clients and likes to be more hands on. He has some amazing pointers on providing great service, building relationships, and some pretty entertaining stories from the frontlines as well. 

Even though his personality, like most in the medical field, is that of the "caretaker" with traits like generosity, empathy, self-sacrifice, compassion and service, he has also learned over time to be an astute businessman, basically falling into the position of a successful Real Estate Investor. On the backend of his business he is building up equity in his investments, tax advantages, and looking into larger multi-family projects in the future!

From the hub of the affordable housing crisis, Los Angeles, on this episode we are joined by Dave & Felicia with Uncle Dave's Housing. 

Dave & Felicia met in drug rehab and started their life's journey in transitional, affordable, sober housing after they became sober themselves. 

Felicia was an attorney who was actually hired by a Group Home owner. This person did NOT have the proper systems in place like we teach in our GOLD COURSE (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO) but essentially was a slumlord with a business that had gotten out of hand. She needed Felicia to help with some paperwork but also needed a stern, management type personality to straighten things out in the homes. Felicia had the perfect person: Dave. He cleaned things up and eventually became the house supervisor for Felicia's client. 

It soon dawned on Dave and Felicia that they could run the business better, more passionately, and be their own bosses while also increasing their bank balance a little. Uncle Dave's Housing was born. 

This was 10 years ago and Dave and Felicia now own, run, and operate multiple properties in Southern California. Uncle Dave's Housing is a household name in the community & industry, and they are living their dream of getting paid well to help out those who are in need. 

If you want to get 1st hand knowledge about the Group Home industry from 2 vets in the trenches, then you do not want to miss this episode! 

We talk about how they got started by leasing their 1st property, what they look for in a property to make it profitable in one of the most expensive areas of the country to live in, their legal battles about housing discrimination (the ultimate lesson learned was to choose your battles), management tips and much more! 

Even though they dropped a ton of gems here, we only scratched the surface! Luckily, if you are in the Los Angeles area than you can pick their brains yourself! They are actually starting a new business to help new Group Home owners. Check out their website at www.uncledaveshousing.org and contact them if your interested in hearing more about their new Group Home auditing business. 

If you want to get started in this amazing business than you have 2 options. 

1) Learn the hard way like Dave, Felicia, and our Founder Andy did or 

2) Save a ton of time, energy and funds by earning from them! Check out our GOLD COURSE HERE for a digital library of how to guides, videos, and sample material you can use in your own business and if you're in the LA area give Dave and Felicia a shout at their website!

The #1 misconception that most people have about our business is that you need to have some kind of license in order to do this in "your area".

There must be some kind of certificate or zoning approval or license in order to provide affordable housing right?

Put simply, NO. There is not.

What we do, and what we teach our students to do with our GOLD COURSE (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO) is simply focus on the housing, charge an affordable rate to your tenants, sell by the bed or the private room, and with 4-5 plus bedrooms you should 5-10x the cashflow of that property compared to a typical rental property. If you have tenants that require some kind of licensed service, just simply outsource to a company licensed to provide that service.

Along with the extra cash, you will also have more control over the property and there are ways to get a guaranteed check, typically directly or indirectly from Uncle Sam.

We adhere to Federal guidelines when it comes to housing, and on top of that, the majority of the demographics we serve will have additional protection under the law based on their disability.

Now, does this stop HOA's, neighbors, code compliance and local zoning officials from violating these Federal guidelines? In most cases yes, but not all the time.

That's where someone like LeTonya comes in! Prior to signing up for the Gold Course and focusing on starting a Group Home business, she was a Federal Regulatory Attorney who specialized in Fair Housing.

She actually represented Real Estate Investors and people in our business who had their rights violated.

If you have ANY reservations about starting a Group Home, and they are legal, then you HAVE to listen to this multiple times.

It's imperative to know your rights in case the worst case does happen, but also just for your confidence. You can hire someone like LeTonya in that worst case scenario, and get BIG BUCKS if your rights are violated.

But bare minimum you need to be comfortable know that what you are doing is completely legal and ETHICAL.

If you've been following Group Home Riches for a while then you most likely have heard the story of Tasha McCray. 

Tasha was a nurse and Real Estate Investor who had heard about Group Homes from her mentor/friend Tamara. 

She didn't really think about it too much until she had her first problem tenant in one of her rental properties. Like many "landlords" realize, the juice is just not worth the squeeze for most rental properties. You usually only bring in $200 - $300 per month on a "good month". 1 tenant skips town, doesn't pay, or causes damages and that profit for THE YEAR is totally wiped out! 

Tasha realized that there had to be a better way, so hopped on the internet to research how to start one of these Group Homes that Tamara had been talking about. 

She wasted absolutely NO TIME WHATSOEVER. She immediately signed up for Gold Course, got her 1st website developed by us, and within just 3 weeks she was recording her first podcast telling us how she was up, running and profitable in the shortest amount of time we've ever seen someone do it. Listen to her first podcast HERE to hear how she did it!  

Besides catching up with Tasha, and hearing Tamara's equally inspiring story, we wanted to hear about a new service they are offering that we thought you guys would absolutely love called The Group Home Blueprint.

As you probably know, we offer our GOLD COURSE, and ONE ON ONE COACHING but there are a few things that we do not do. 

Live In Person Training - This is something that we have thought about doing but ultimately nixxed because we like to be private people. As you know, you do not see our faces in our content. We like our successful students like Tasha to do the speaking for us! When we found out she was offering live conferences, we knew we had to tell you guys about it! 

Government Contracts - This is just not our forte. Our business model is very simple, easy to scale, and what we stick to. That does not mean there are no other opportunities in this industry. One of the most lucrative, and difficult to navigate, is Government contracts. Tasha and Tamara both have experience with this and offer their insight as part of their Group Home Blueprint. 

Licensed Group Homes & Medical Experience - We have a sales, marketing, and real estate background. Affordable, cooperative living is just one of those extremely underserved niches that the vast majority of landlords refuse to work with. Where many investors saw problems, Andy saw opportunity and capitalized on that. The results of this decision being an off the chart ROI AND helping THOUSANDS of people in need over the years. Our Gold Course breaks down this simple business model that requires absolutely no license or medical experience. Does it need to stop there?? Of course not! If you have medical experience and/or the desire to start a licensed facility, there are many advantages to this strategy. One of the disadvantages is the CONFUSION that comes with it. Tasha and Tamara can help with that and both have a background in nursing! 

These are just a few of the benefits of working with them and you have to see all of the other things they are offering with their Group Home Blueprint. CHECK IT OUT HERE and reach out if you have any questions!

If you are part of our Private Facebook Group for GOLD COURSE MEMBERS, then you are probably familiar with this name.

He went through a lot of ups and downs, many of them humously shared on the group, but he eventually found a landlord willing to lease him an 8 bedroom home to accomodate all of these leads he was getting!

About a year before opening her first Group Home, Jasmine found herself jobless, homeless and IN NEED of a Group Home for her and her children. 

Fast forward a year later and she's now the provider for housing like this. 

What changed??

One thing that didn't change was her MINDSET.

She had been working in sales before her circumstance left her without a home, where she learned how to have a winner's mindset. Although she may have been "broke", she was most definitely not POOR. 

When looking for affordable housing herself, she realized her calling:

GROUP HOMES

This was a way to not only earn a great living, but help people at the same time! 

So how can one go from homeless to being a business owner with no money up front???

A key section of our GOLD COURSE is the "How to Find a Partner and Start with Little to No Money" guide. It's counterintuitive, and might take some educating, but Group Homes are a way to 

Now you see why after Jasmine's FIRST phone call to a landlord on Craigslist, after hearing the Gold Course pitch, HE was the one following up with HER a few days later! 

The first one worked out so well that he's also funding her 2nd & THIRD property!!! 

You do not want to miss this episode! 

If you are the type of person that is energized by helping your community and building long term wealth while you do it, then stop making excuses! 

You don't need a license. You don't need permission from anyone. You don't need a home yet. You don't need the dough to purchase one!! 

Jasmine is walking and talking proof of this! 

It's not easy. But it's a SIMPLE process. Sign up for your free training at www.grouphomeriches.com if you haven't already and if this sounds like the perfect business for you, join THE GOLD COURSE today!

If you want to start a Group Home, this episode is yet another one that proves you have no excuses! 

On top of her job, Kellie has another full time (plus overtime probably) job...and that's being a mother to NINE children! 

She is the typical "Caregiver" personality and luckily found the perfect business to satisfy her need to help others AND make a great living while doing so. 

She got started by working in Group Homes herself and eventually became a foster parent (in addition to her own children). 

She saw how some Group Homes were not being run up to her standards and thought that she could do better. That's when she hopped on Google, looked up "How to Start a Group Home", and luckily found our GOLD COURSE (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO). 

She wasted NO TIME and quickly got the ball rolling. Her and her husband purchased a home in September, and it was FILLED with tenants by the next month! 

Listen to how she got started, found her House Manager, learned the art of delegation and her future plans. Her husband and son are researching Real Estate Investment strategies and we discuss how if they can combine those skills with the Group Home business model, their family will be sitting pretty for generations to come! All by filling a MUCH needed void in her community!

Last year we interviewed an extremely motivated AND motivatING Group Home Entrepreneur named Duane who was "Ignorant and on Fire"! 

By "ignorant" he means...

ig·​no·​rant | adjective | lacking knowledge or comprehension of the thing specified

Duane's ultimate goal was to start a Sober Living Brand and provide all of the licensed services under one nonprofit. 

Even though he didn't know every single detail to do that (which is usually a 6 -12 month process), when he found out he could get started out by simply providing the housing at first, without any licensing, complex paperwork, and by leasing a property he was off to the races! 

He spent that 1st year networking, building his brand, developing his board of directors, getting set up to provide a full service Sober Living Organization and learning the business all while income was streaming in from his 1st unlicensed and leased property! 

Check out his Sober University at https://thesoberuniversity.org/
