Group Home Business Plan – Why You Need One TODAY

It has been a while since we wrote in this blog here at Group Home Riches. What have we been doing? Well, we have been busy running our day-to-day business which involves looking for more group homes to acquire along with other real estate and business endeavors, and creating an awesome group home business plan. That is the beautiful thing about the Special Needs housing industry.

If you start a special needs housing business or a Group Home business, you have the opportunity to focus on additional income and revenue streams.

Group Sober Homes & Additional Revenue Streams

Are there other ways to generate income and revenue from sober homes other than through Rent?

In a simple answer Yes! However, it really depends on what type of group home or sober homes you are operating as well as the location.

For starters, let’s assume that you are interested in starting a group home or a halfway home.

You also realize that you do not yet “know all there is to know”, so you have decided to start small – with a minimal investment – in order to get your group home started up and therefore go after the higher functioning population rather than starting up an ICF/MH home which requires a lot more knowledge and insight. For example, maybe you would like to go after people with disabilities such as alcoholism.
