Are You Making These 3 Common Mistakes When Starting a Group Home Business?

Are You Making These 3 Common Mistakes When Starting a Group Home Business?

 

Starting a Group Home Business..or any business for that matter…isn’t always easy. There are so many things to think about and decisions to make!

 

There are several common and dangerous mistakes many new FREE 10 PART COURSE (CLICK HERE) members make that can negatively impact their businesses.


Get Started Now


Here are 3 of the most common ones we see that you should avoid when getting your first Group Home up and running:

 

1) Not Marketing Enough

This is HUGE. Marketing is going to be the life-blood of your business and many newer members do not realize how BIG you need to go with your marketing. We get a lot of members who have their first home and only get a couple tenants. The reason? They have ONE…maybe TWO referral sources…and sit back and rely on that one social worker or organization to send them clients. Don’t do this if you want to fill up and scale quickly. GO BIG. We recommend using the email marketing tutorial in my FREE 10 PART COURSE (CLICK HERE), build a database of AT LEAST a couple hundred contacts, and continuously market until you have as much tenants as you want.

2) Trying to Run Before Walking

We have a lot of members come to us with grandiose plans of buying an apartment complex and converting it to a large scale Group Home offering top of the line medical care, or partnering with local government programs and non-profits to completely end homelessness in their community with a large building and free resources….etc. etc. These are all WONDERFUL ideas but let’s be realistic! Have you ever flipped a home? Do you have construction experience? No? …. then you’re going to have an extremely tough time rehabbing and converting a large property! Do you have a lawyer that will help you with paperwork? Do you have political connections?? How bout a track record of successful Group Homes that you’ve previously owned? No?? … then you’re going to have an extremely tough time getting a Grant!

 

My FREE 10 PART COURSE (CLICK HERE) will show you how to start with as little as $1500 – $2500 or how to find a partner if you have NO MONEY (this is the PERFECT partnership opportunity for Real Estate investors) and be running at full capacity in 30 – 60 days! Having big goals are AWESOME…but without a plan they are just words! My FREE 10 PART COURSE (CLICK HERE) will give you the plan along with actionable steps you can take RIGHT NOW to have your first home running much sooner than you probably thought.

 

3) Analysis Paralysis

You don’t need to learn and know EVERYTHING all at once. There is a TON of material in my FREE 10 PART COURSE (CLICK HERE) and you should continuously educate yourself. But education is an ongoing journey, not a destination! Once you come up with a game plan and know who you want to market to: START! It’s a really simple concept….find a home, get it set up, market to organizations and people that serve your clientele, fill the home and manage! Don’t make it harder than it needs to be.

 

Think about your current job or hobby..or really anything like that in your life..you learn as you go along right? Can you imagine if you waited until you knew EVERYTHING about your current job before ever starting?? You’d never start…and never get a check! Unfortunately, this is what MANY people do when starting a business and this will hold them back for years when they could have realistically had a home filled with tenants in the first 30 – 60 days if they just GOT STARTED. 

We all make mistakes. Andy made a TON of them when starting out that cost him THOUSANDS…in fact, there is a whole section dedicated to this in my FREE 10 PART COURSE (CLICK HERE). The key is to learn from them! You can do this the hard way by learning from YOUR mistakes…or the easy way by learning from others. The choice is yours!

The Lazy Way to Offer Licensed Care For Your Group Home

Posted on by brandon B

Does Your Group Home Need to Become a Licensed Facility?

Do You Need To Employ Licensed Nurses at Your Group Home?? NO!!!

 

 

Let’s imagine a scenario for a moment:

Let’s say you have a home and you want to rent out a converted garage.

You put an ad on Craigslist with a picture of your home, price, and brief write up of yourself and the home’s amenities.

You get a few inquiries and set up a few calls. One person seems like the perfect fit! He is quiet, stays to himself, and has a guaranteed source of income but there’s one catch:

He is an elderly gentleman and he needs a nurse to come by to administer medicine and check his vitals 3 times a week.

What would you do in this situation? Would you try to convert your garage into a licensed facility? How about hiring a nurse and paying him/her out of your own pocket? Would you become a licensed nurse yourself???

OF COURSE NOT!
You don’t have to turn this tenant away either! This is where a “Home Health Company” comes into play and this is what you can do for your Group Home!

In this situation your tenant would call a Home Health company, pay out of their own pocket or through Medicaid for example, and you collect your fee for providing housing! That’s it!

Now instead of one of these tenants in a converted garage, do it for every room! Establish a relationship with a few local companies and you can either refer your clients to them or make the call if needed.

This is exactly what our FOUNDER does for his Group Homes and the method taught in our FREE 10 PART COURSE. 

This is one of the MANY tips you can follow in the FREE 10 PART COURSE to replace your full time job’s income while STILL WORKING just like THIS FREE 10 PART COURSE MEMBER  DID (CLICK TO LISTEN)!

Follow the management tips in OUR FREE 10 PART COURSE to run a lean business, the easiest way, with minimal work on your end! If implemented correctly, your job duties will be similar to running a rental property and you can easily earn a GREAT LIVING working part time!

Check out this inquiry we received from a rental property owner who reached out to us looking for people like YOU!!!


“Hello,

My property is at (RESERVED FOR OUR FREE 10 PART COURSE MEMBERS). I was wondering for people that would prefer a more hands off approach you or someone from the team would like take a look at a property to be rented out for a group home?

Currently the house has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths with the possibility of converting the garage for additional rooms. 

Please let me know if anyone may be interested. 

Happy 4th! “

This gentleman understands that if someone that knows what they are doing rents from him and follows through with their plans, he will have no worries about getting rent on time AND…this is key….he won’t have to manage the property! “


Quote: “more hands off approach” /Quote

That is all this owner would want out of the deal…less phone calls..now imagine if you approached someone like this in your circle of friends and family…or pitched someone at a Real Estate investors meet up….and offered not just to pay rent on time and never call, but also offered a split of the profit!

This is THE BEST way to get your foot in the door if you do not have the start up funds to open your first Group Home.

700,000 People Need People Like YOU With a Group Home!

Posted on by brandon B

Where Do People Live When They Get Out of Prison or Jail???

If it’s not back to the streets….many of them choose Transitional Housing…another type of Group Home

 

 

Each year 700,000 people – YES FOLKS, 700,000 people! — get out of jail. In the interim, 9 Million cycle through jails. This niche within the housing sector is in huge demand and the government is willing to pay you big bucks to help them out. Help them out in what capacity you maybe asking?

Simple, provide drug free housing for these ex-offenders and let the government send you a check each and every month for doing so!

For example, in Louisiana, roughly 1 in 86 people is in Jail. Just imagine how many people are coming out of jail each and every day looking for a place to stay? Just imagine how you could change their lives and help them if you wound up providing housing for them? But this isn’t just in Louisiana, this is literally across every city throughout the United States.

People leaving jails are in need of re-entry housing – they are actively looking for transitional living homes, sober homes, halfway homes and other group homes in your city where they can live.

So How Do I Start a Halfway Home for the Re-Entry Program?

Get Started Now


The process for setting up a re-entry home or care home, transitional living home, sober home or group home for people leaving state or federal jails is quite simple. In fact, the set-up is nearly the same as when you set up a standard group home for other niche markets. The short of it is:

  • Lease or rent a home or building
  • Purchase furniture
  • Purchase televisions
  • Turn on utilities
  • Market your property EFFECTIVELY to your local jails and community organizations!

Although the above may sound easy, we all know that everything is easier said (or written) than done. The above will take time…but not that much time and it really won’t cost a bunch of money if you follow the advice you will receive on the grouphomeriches.com website. How much you may be wondering? Well, let’s just say that it is possible to get your group home or transitional living home up and going for less than $500. Yes, less than $500 and you could easily be generating $4,000 – $6,000 / month in Gross Rents in no-time flat.

Help the Housing Crisis, and Get Paid by the Government with Your Group Home

 

What’s the Biggest Problem in California and how Can You Help with a Group Home??

 

 

California has a TON of problems:

– Homelessness
– Pollution
– Biggest gap between the rich and the poor
– Crime
– People going to the bathroom in the streets (Not even making that up! CLICK HERE)

But what do Californians think is the biggest issue facing the state?

THE HOUSING CRISIS!


According to THIS NY Times Article:

“But today, I’m going to dig into what Californians say is the state’s most urgent and thorny problem: the housing crisis, which lawmakers are set to discuss this afternoon when they take up Assembly Bill 1482. I wrote about whom it could leave out”

This is just yet another article highlighting the CRISIS that you can solve! And make GREAT money at the same time!

Some more excerpts highlighting why you are needed:

“The fixed incomes of many senior tenants aren’t keeping up with even smaller, incremental rent increases.”

“At 82, Ms. Jenkins said having to move all that would be devastating. She doesn’t know where she’d go.”

“I’ve never had to think about living on the street,” she told me recently. “And, believe me, that’s in the back of my mind.”

People like Ms. Jenkins are your clients and they can no longer afford to stay at facilities that are charging THOUSANDS per month.

OUR FREE 10 Part COURSE will show you how to locate folks like Ms. Jenkins, how to set your home up in a roommate situation so it is affordable, how to get paid by the government or other organizations, and how to generate (on average) $4000 – $6000 per month! You can do this all with no license, no paperwork to fill out, no permission from the state…..just some work ethic and the desire to help out your community!

Who Your Tenants Are and Why They Need a Group Home

Posted on by brandon B

Who Your Tenants Are and Why They Need a Group Home

Who would want to live in a Group Home??

More specifically…who would want to live in YOUR Group Home, ran out of a standard residential house??


Aren’t there fancy facilities with top of the line medical equipment and teams of highly trained staff that people go to when they need a place to live? And isn’t all of that paid by the government and social security? That’s why we pay a nice portion of our W2 checks every other week to these government programs right???

WRONG!!! 

Meet Cecile.

Luckily, she had savings and a pension on top of her SSI so she could afford a facility like that. But guess what…those facilities cost anywhere from $3,000 – $5,000 PER MONTH. 

As she says, “That money has gone so quickly,” the 85-year-old said.

She was able to afford to stay at French Manor Residential Care for a couple years, but now her money is drying up. 

And what about those that DON’T have savings or a pension plan??? What if they are trying to live off of $1200 per month for everything??!!

READ ABOUT CECILE HERE and check out some quotes below that reiterate why YOU are needed, and why we put together OUR FREE 10-PART COURSE to show you exactly what to do:

“There’s a lack of availability across the board, especially in the lower-income range,” added Kim Bauml, senior care consultant/president at Options for Senior Living.

The Alliance for Senior Housing, LLC and Options for Senior Living, LLC are two area companies that make free referrals for placement in senior housing. The two organizations try to place seniors in facilities that works for their finances. (**** THIS is the type of organization you market to!!****)

“Everybody has a staffing issue,” Hintsala said. “Some of the homes have even contracted with in-home care agencies to provide extra staffing.” (**** This is what we mean by OUTSOURCING any licensed care****)

“Most places there is a wait list for rooms, no matter how much they cost,” Wilkinson said. (****There is a HUGE demand for this, and nobody is doing it!!!****)

That’s it! THIS ARTICLE perfectly explains why Andy’s business model works, why there is a huge market for it, and why we put together OUR FREE 10-PART COURSE to teach people just like you how to capitalize on SOLVING THIS PROBLEM!! You can make THOUSANDS on a home that you RENT, by helping out people just like Cecile!!

How To Lose $10,000 With Your Group Home

How To Lose $10,000 With Your Group Home

A Small Trick to Save a Lot of Money with Your Group Home

I’m sure you’ve heard it before, “More millionaires have been made through Real Estate than any other business”…something like 90% of millionaires have amassed wealth through Real Estate is some form or fashion.

One of the common strategies is called “Buying and Holding” or more simply, becoming a landlord.

You mortgage a home, pay the debt down each month to build equity, and then rent the home to someone else for more than the mortgage.

This is a great long-term strategy to build equity (the value of the home that is debt free) but in the short term can come with MANY headaches the gurus will not tell you about!

I have a family member that owns about 50 units with a business partner. They spend the majority of their “free time” handling tenant calls, calling maintenance people, doing the maintenance themselves sometimes, calling maintenance people, collecting rent, rehabbing properties, yelling at construction workers, filing evictions, going to court ETC ETC.

They’ve built a nice portfolio on paper and are doing quite well in “Equity”.  Guess how much they NETTED in cash flow last year though???

ZERO. In fact….they actually LOST MONEY. How could that even be possible you ask??? Watch THIS VIDEO HERE above to hear a situation Andy recently went through on one of his traditional rental units and you will see why!! Make sure to subscribe to our channel for more free content!

One of the many advantages of starting a Group Home is that you will avoid this situation! With the techniques taught in MY FREE 10 PART COURSE you will get a GUARANTEED PAYMENT every month typically from the government and if someone does not pay or breaks the house rules you ask them to leave! Thats it! No evictions, no court costs, no chasing down tenants each month for a check….and on top of that…it’s a way to cash flow THOUSANDS each month instead of hundreds (or negative in my family member’s situation).

How To Approach Landlords & Start Your First Group Home With No Money Down

Start Your First Group Home With No Money Down

And How To Approach Landlords

Yesterday one of my FREE 10 PART COURSE students told me that they wanted to scale up their First Group Home Business.
                                                                                           

Get Started Now

She was wondering on average how many landlords she needed to contact to get a “Yes”

I explained to her that on average, once she got GREAT she would average a 25-30% close rate. But right off the bat, she would need to count on about a 15% close rate or roughly 1 out of 7.

More specifically, she would need to approach 7 landlords to get a “yes”….

Now for the next question…..

“Andy, can you give me the step-by-step script as found in the FREE 10 PART COURSE where I can get my First Group Home up and going for no money out of pocket?”


Get Started Now

                                                       
 Yes – here it is:

“Mr. Landlord, I saw you had a 4 bedroom home for rent on Craigslist that you are trying to rent out for $1,000 per month. What if I could show you a way to make more per month than you are currently listing it for and do it in a way that doesn’t require any extra work, any extra cost, any extra maintenance….nothing at all?”

Landlord: “Hmm….tell me more.”

“What if I manage it, I rent out the rooms or beds in each room, handle all the maintenance, cleaning etc…. The rent will be paid ON TIME each month and all the maintenance will be covered by me….. AND I’ll pay you not the $1,000 you are asking – but I’ll pay you $1,500 per month – and then I get to keep everything that is left over?”

Landlord:

“Hmm. Yes, that sounds great”

The Affordable Housing Crisis and how You Can Help With Your Group Home

“I have a check, I can pay. I just don’t have affordable housing.”

Almost every day there is an article in the newspaper about the housing crisis! This one is from New Orleans. Check out this comment from a homeless shelter resident to see why people like YOU are desperately needed across the country!

Carol Robertson, who has been staying at the Salvation Army shelter for about a week, said she’s heard from others there that getting into a permanent home means up to 11 months on a waiting list.
Robertson, 62, said her problem is being able to find a place to live that she can afford.“I have a check, I can pay. I just don’t have affordable housing,” she said.
Read the full article HERE

See that?! The majority of these folks have a check from the government or non-profit but cannot afford standard housing!

So where do you come in? You can use your current home, lease a home, or use any of a number of other strategies to get a home, get it set up LIKE THIS, 2 beds to a room, and start marketing to non profits, social workers, case workers…or places like this shelter in the article…and start getting paid to help people! There are thousands of people like Carol that can afford $500 – $800 per month, and you can bring in $1000 – $1600 PER BEDROOM! Now imagine having a 4 or 5 bedroom home. It’s a win win all around!

Sign up to our FREE 10 PART COURSE to learn how to help AND make $4,000 – $6,000 per month being paid by the government!
