The Very First Step to Opening Your 1st Group Home

It may sound counterintuitive, but before buying or leasing a new home, getting all of the furniture and supplies, and getting all of your systems in place, we recommend doing 1 key thing FIRST:

MARKETING

Trust me that if you live in populated area there are probably HUNDREDS of caseworkers, social workers, treatment centers and non-profits like the one pictured above DESPERATE to work with people like you!

They receive a ton of government funds to house people who are in need but are AWFUL at marketing! Check out this info we received from a program in California:

One of the biggest problems they face is finding landlords willing to work with them!

This is why the very first thing we teach on our FREE 10-PART COURSE is simply compile a list of organizations like this and reach out to them!

This way you will find out where the demand and opportunities are AND motivate you to take the next steps.

On our next PODCAST (CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE), we talk with a new group home entrepreneur about how he found FIFTEEN HUNDRED contacts.

How he set up his email campaign like what we teach in our FREE 10-PART COURSE,  and all while the rest of the country was locked down…he got

SEVENTY TWO POTENTIAL TENANTS ON A WAITING LIST!!!!

His first home has a few of these folks moved in, with a guaranteed payment and he’s already profitable after the first couple weeks of being open.

When the home is fully occupied he’ll be bringing in $14000 PER MONTH on a home that he rents for only $1300!!! He has 4 more homes opening soon and my bet is that he will be retired from his full time job within a year’s time.

The best part??

He’s helping out people who are in need!!! You can do the same thing.

You don’t need a big home and a big budget to start.

AND YOU DON’T NEED A LICENSE.

Follow The Money – New Reit Targets 7.5% Return from Homeless Shelters

You already know we like Group Homes, but don’t take our word for it.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

The above article is written for Real Estate Investors about a new trust that will return 7.5% on $250,000,000.

They are not going to be investing in big apartment complexes or fancy high rise condominiums, they will be investing in HOMELESS SHELTERS.
How are homeless people going to pay them???? We’ll get to this in a sec…
Smart investors are looking for stable, guaranteed ways to park their hard earned cash.

They can read the headlines about the MORATORIUM ON EVICTIONS (AKA landlords working for free)

They see that 40% of Americans are AT RISK OF EVICTION

And they are not relying on homeless people to pay them. There is literally BILLIONS in guaranteed checks from Uncle Sam and THIS is where they will get that rate of return!!

The writing is on the wall.

The proof is in the pudding!

We are not financial wizards, but we can see trends, see where problems are, and know that you can make a great living by solving problems.

Our solution to this massive problem is something anyone, anywhere can do.

You don’t need a license, a degree or good credit.

You don’t need permission from anyone.

In fact, you don’t even need a home to get started.

Find as many non-profits, caseworkers and organizations as you can in your area. There are hundreds, even thousands of them in your area as long as it’s populated.

Click on the “Billions” link above, then look up your area just to get an idea. That is just ONE program!

Once you have your resources for guaranteed payments every month, you can lease a home or partner with a landlord.

Get the home SET UP LIKE THIS. Next, follow the FREE 10-PART COURSE, wash, repeat, and grow until you reach your goals!

Tasha’s First Couple Months in the Group Home Business

A few months ago we released a podcast episode admitting that this has been a scam along.

We’ve been creating all of this content for years, moved in additional furniture/beds into staged homes for our tours, and made the whole idea of Group Homes up out of thin air.

This is absurd of course and we did that for April fools.

Tasha is living proof that our business model is NOT a scam and she was the subject of our April Fools episode.

She plugged “How to Start a Group Home” into Google, found us, signed up for our FREE 10-PART COURSE, and had her first home open and profitable in THREE WEEKS!!

We catch up with her to see how the first couple of months in business has been for her and SPOIL ALERT: it’s been awesome!

Check it out HERE and make sure to subscribe!

She’s in the process of opening Group Home #3 already! Folks, a lot of people can start to think about retiring at that point.

What other business out there can you do like this?? The lottery maybe?

If you’re the type of person who is motivated by helping others and would like to make a business out of it:

Living The American Dream – A Non Group Home Story

Many of you, Group Home Entrepreneurs, know I am a firm believer that the American Dream Still exists.

This AM, we did podcast #2 with Tasha (You can click here to listen to Podcast #1), it reminded me that we must all work hard and execute daily on our goals and dreams.

Like many of our Group Home Entrepreneurs do that embody the American Dream!

That said, here is the story of Sriracha Hot Sauce…..

In 1980, a Vietnamese refugee arrived in Los Angeles and began crafting a new spicy sauce. 40 years later, his sauce has developed a cult following and grown into an $80 million business.

His life is the embodiment of the American Dream.

David Tran was born in 1945 in Vietnam.

Beginning around 1975, Tran started experimenting with making spicy sauces, using peppers from his brother’s farm and selling the sauces in nearby villages.

The family operation quickly scaled as the sauces gained in popularity.

In 1978, the Vietnamese government began to crack down on the ethnic Chinese population in Vietnam. Tran and his family, being of Chinese origin, decided to flee the country.

He soon found himself with thousands of other refugees on a freighter – The Huey Fong.

After a brief stay in Hong Kong, David Tran was granted asylum in the United States. At first, he was in Boston, but a conversation with his brother-in-law in Los Angeles would seal his fate.

“Do they have red peppers in Los Angeles?” he asked. They did, so Tran flew to LA.

Within one month, David Tran had started his company, Huy Fong Foods (named after the freighter that took him out of Vietnam), and was making spicy sauce.

His goal: to bring the flavors of his country and region to these new markets and his fellow immigrants in America.

He made several spicy sauces, but his signature sauce was inspired by a traditional condiment from a town in Thailand called Si Racha. The sauce had a simple list of ingredients: chilis, vinegar, salt, sugar, and garlic. He named it Sriracha after the town in Thailand.

David Tran began selling the sauce to local Asian restaurants and grocers, giving his pitch and taste tests out of the back of an old, beat up van. His first HQ was a small bottling facility in LA Chinatown, but the business quickly outgrew its humble beginnings.

By 1987, with demand soaring, the business relocated to a 68,000 square foot facility in Rosemead, California.

In 2010, it moved into its current HQ, a sprawling 23 acre compound in Irwindale, California with office, production, and warehouse space.

Along the way, Sriracha sauce became an icon with a cult following. People dressed up as Sriracha for Halloween. Lexus made a Sriracha car. People tattooed pictures of Sriracha bottles on their bodies.

In 2009, @BonAppetit Magazine named it its ingredient of the year.

Today, Huy Fong Foods generates over $80 million in annual revenue.

It remains family-owned, run primarily by eight members of David Tran’s family. Imitators have come and have gone. David Tran did not trademarked the Sriracha name but everyone knows the original when they taste it.

David Tran’s story is, in many ways, the embodiment of the American Dream. A refugee who came to America and built an amazing business through sheer effort and creativity. Next time you put Sriracha on your food, tip the hat to David Tran and his incredible story.

I hope that YOU LOVE this American Dream Story. After reading it, start thinking about beginning YOUR AMERICAN DREAM STORY.

Common Mistakes To Avoid With Your Group Home Business

Warren Buffet once said “We all learn from mistakes, but no one said that they have to be our own.”

I love this quote, and it shows why we need guidance.

This is going to be an ongoing series, so make sure to read this and look out for the next one soon!

Trust me, you would much rather learn from OUR MISTAKES instead of your own!

Don’t Wait Too Long to Start

I am fortunate because I began investing in real estate when I was 22 years old. I purchased a condo for $55,000 with about $2,400 down which I had saved up from odd jobs. Here we are, nearly 20 years later and I still have friends talking about when they are going to get started.

The reality is that there is never a perfect time to get into the game. If you want to hit a home run, trust me, you need someone to be pitching and some balls to swing at. You have to get into the batters box. The reason why we show people how to run care homes, assisted livings and group homes is because it is the ULTIMATE low-to-no risk way of getting into the real estate business.

You can literally start tomorrow by finding organizations in your area that will send you referrals.

Once you have case workers calling you every week to see if you’re open and you have tenants on your waiting list, you’re going to feel much more confident taking on a new housing payment or partnering with a landlord right?

With one home, you can begin creating a nice income stream or even a supplemental income stream if you already have a full-time job.

Once you get to around 4 or 5 of them, most people can comfortably “retire” from their 9 – 5. Keep in mind, using the FREE 10-PART COURSE, one person can run 15 – 20 of these before it’s a full time job!

You can start just by leasing a property or even with NO MONEY by partnering with a landlord. Even with such a small investment with so much upside and potential, people still don’t get started!

If you plan on waiting until you find that perfect coach or mentor that will take you under his or her wing for free, it may be 5 years, 10 year, 15 years from now. Heck, it may never happen! Isn’t it smarter to just spend the money, educate yourself and get into the game today?

I firmly believe it is. No matter which road you choose, it is going to cost you money. You can spend money today and invest in your future or waste time and lose money in the form of lost opportunities.

Start Your Group Home and Become the Solution!

Covid 19 has exacerbated A LOT of problems, but you can solve one of them! You can provide Affordable Housing by starting your group home and earn a great living at the same time.

Check this excerpt out from the article above:

“The nation is short more than 7 million homes for extremely low-income renters, per the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC). That gap between the affordable housing we have and what we need is poised to grow, through a slowdown of new housing production and the loss of existing homes and apartments, just as it’s needed most.”

Check out this link for the full article, but do you really need to? Look outside. Drive around. If you live in a populated area this is blatantly obvious: There is a MASSIVE shortage in affordable housing across this country.

There’s literally hundreds if not THOUSANDS of articles like this that we could be highlighting and none of them provide the simple solution that our FREE 10-PART COURSE proposes.

It’s really quite simple.

Rent a home, get it set up LIKE THIS, follow our FREE 10-PART COURSE  marketing methods to locate organizations in your area that will pay you directly for providing this type of housing, and start solving this massive crisis!!

YOU DON’T NEED A LICENSE, A MEDICAL STAFF or A BIG, SPECIALLY ZONED FACILITY!

All you need is the desire to help out your community, follow instructions, and take ACTION!!

Don’t take our word for it. CLICK HERE to subscribe to our podcast to listen how people just like you signed up for our FREE 10-PART COURSE, did what we said, helped out their community and reaped the financial rewards for doing so!

We have released an interview with William that signed up RIGHT when Covid hit. He took the time off from his full time job as a blessing, followed our MARKETING METHODS, got SEVENTY TWO people on his waiting list, and is in the process of opening his first 5 Group Homes!!! His first one is going to bring in FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PER MONTH!!!

You can do the same thing if you got off the sidelines and started playing the game.

Protest Or Invest? Start your Group Home!

One of my FREE 10-PART COURSE client and a group home owner texted me yesterday (yes, he has my private #).

He is a younger dude – 21 years old – trying to get onto the fast track of success. Here is what he told me:

“Andy, many of my friends don’t have jobs. They know that school is a racket and don’t want $160,000 of debt when they get out. They are pissed and don’t have anything else to do but screw off and protest – and in some cases do worse things. What should I do?”

Ha! I wish I really knew the “perfect” answer….unfortunately I don’t. What I do know is that when I was young – probably 7th and 8th grade – I was more than happy to be a punk! So I get it….fortunately, by the time I hit about 14 or 15 I realized that money was a true separator and I wanted to be in the “haves” rather than the “have not’s”

I definitely received some direction during my youth about the qualities and characteristics of successful people – hard work, industriousness, focus, sacrifice etc.

BUT NOBODY EVER GAVE ME A SPECIFIC DETAILED ROADMAP LIKE I PROVIDE IN MY FREE 10-PART COURSE…

So what did I tell this young man?

Keep being an example. Be the role model. Eventually, your friends will come to you and ask you for guidance, help or employment.

I left it at that. He is on Group Home #2 and hopes to have 4 of them by the end of the year.

With four of them, he should be making anywhere from $7,000 – $11,000 per month.

He did not need a license or a $160,000 college education. He started with the FREE 10-PART COURSE and then eventually got some 1-on-1 coaching.

Next year I have a feeling his friends will begin reaching out to him and I will show him how to bring them on-board to his way of living.

Focusing on INVESTING rather than PROTESTING. Investing in themselves and their community. At that point, he can turn them into house managers or even division managers as he scales up his group home business. Just one of his friends could manage up to 20 group homes pretty easily and all of the sudden he will have an automated machine that someone else is running. This is the power of capitalism. It can bring up everyone.

He can then go on to build other companies, pursue real estate investments and other ventures and help lift up those around him. Eventually those around him will do the same.

This is the power of investing in oneself.

How Two Men Started With Nothing And Turned A Few Group Homes Into An 11 Billion Fortune

I need to take back one of my statements from over the years…In fact, I have probably said this more than once…

“YOU WON’T BECOME A BILLIONAIRE WITH GROUP HOMES”

Well, I stand corrected!

Last night, as I was reading the Wall Street Journal, I read an article about the BARCLAY Brothers…

I am sure many of you are familiar with the iconic BARCLAY Name out of London…..Yes, that BARCLAY….

Well guess what line of business they first started in to generate MASSIVE CASHFLOW?

You guessed it. GROUP HOMES (i.e. Boarding homes)

Check out the image above and the article here.

I didn’t realize it either. But after London was bombed by the Germans, Millions of people needed LOW RENT GROUP HOME HOUSING. And this is what the Barclay brothers started with!

They went on to AMASS AN $11,000,000,000 (yes, $11 Billion) FORTUNE in U.S. Dollars by essentially following the same steps we outline in the FREE 10-PART COURSE.

In fact, when they started, they were BROKE! They were about as poor as you could imagine. So why did they start with Group Homes?

THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY MONEY AND DID NOT NEED ANY MONEY TO START

THEY DID NOT NEED ANY LICENCES

THEY KNEW THAT THE DEMAND FOR LOW-RENT HOUSING WAS ENORMOUS

THEY KNEW THAT OUR FREE 10-PART COURSE STYLE OPERATIONS WOULD MAKE THEM A FORTUNE!

These brothers eventually went on to accumulate a variety of different businesses including the revered RITZ Hotel in London

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING THE NEXT BOARDING HOME BILLIONAIRE?

This is how the great Hilton Hotel Founder Conrad Hilton started as well! And the list goes on and on…

I hope this message is inspirational – many times what we need in life is for someone else to show us how they live – IN SPIRIT – i.e. with the SPIRIT OF GOD AND THE UNIVERSE in order to motivate us to GET STARTED!

And when I read this last night, I was INSPIRED! Two men, starting with NOTHING and building an $11,000,000,000 fortune from the FOUNDATION OF GROUP HOMES!

How To Take Your Tenants To Court If and When They Screw You Over

This AM, one of my new managers (from the group home that generates $10,000 per month with bunk beds – see video below) texted me to let me know that one of the tenants had disputed the rental agreement and credit card charge.

He is a new manager, so I told him to start documenting everything. When you do so, it gives you an upper hand to go after them later down the line.

An example of this is the image above of a judgment I received yesterday in the amount of $6,833.39 against a truly HORRIBLE tenant.

Most of the time we don’t bother with this, but sometimes if the tenant has caused property destruction etc – it is worth doing!

Why?

Because later down the line, they may want to pay it to get it off their credit!

Also, b/c it would not be fair for another property manager to deal with a HORRIBLE tenant that you failed to go after because you either did not know how or were too lazy….

These judgments compound at 5% annually (unless specified differently in your agreement) and can add up over time.

This little judgment turns into $11,000 in a little less than 10 years!

In a nutshell, here is the step-by-step process for obtaining judgments:

1. Document everything

2. Obtain copies of receipts, photos of the damage, bids and checks written to the handyman that does the repair work from the damage caused by the tenant

3. Sue them for the amount due! (it will cost about $200)

4. Bring all your evidence to trial. You have the moral highground and will win if you have everything documents.

5. File an abstract of judgement with the courts ($5 cost)

Then, sit back and wait! Not all of these will turn into money…but some will!

In fact, I have had more than my fair share call me after 10 or 15 years and THANK ME for being tough on them….I vividly remember one guy apologizing for being a “Young, dumb, punk” as he told me and thanked me for letting him better understand the word “responsibility”.

The Coming Tidal Wave of Evictions And Foreclosures

When I consult directly with my Group Home Entrepreneur clients and even when I have brief conversations with my website development clients, one thing I continue to mention is getting ready for the end of this year and early next.

Why?

BECAUSE THERE IS A FLOOD OF EVICTIONS AND FORECLOSURES

that will hit the market whenever the courts begin opening up…

Let me tell you a quick story and then share how you can MAKE A FORTUNE picking up these properties for pennies on the dollar or simply taking over payments..

ANDY’S STORY…

I have a property (not a group home) and the tenant has not paid rent since April. Do the math! It will cost me $10,000 by the time it is all said and done.

AND HERE IS WHY THIS COULD MAKE YOU $50,000…

Because your average landlord cannot handle a $10,000 hiccup. It is just way to much money. This is where you come into play:

#1. Reach out to your local court house and look up all the eviction cases and foreclosures in your specific area. Build your excel spreadsheet of the owners name, number, email address etc. Then pick up the phone and reach out to them!

THESE ARE MOTIVATED SELLERS!!

On the other side of the coin, many of these folks will be more than happy to deed you over their property for a few thousand if you promise to handle the tenant/eviction riff-raff.

ALL OF THE SUDDEN, YOU MAY HAVE 3-4 HOMES THAT YOU ACQUIRED FOR PENNIES!

These properties can then be converted over to GROUP HOMES.

(IMAGINE 4 HOMES MAKING YOU $3,000 PER MONTH EACH! – $12,000/MONTH)
The beauty of this model is that you either have a home you bought for 30% – 60% of the market value or you picked it up with cheap-financing in place!

Remember one of the KEY SECRETS IN MY FREE 10-PART COURSE is CHEAP HOUSES IN AFFORDABLE NEIGHBORHOODS! The cheaper the underlying rent/mortgage – the more money you will make!

Questions?

Do you have a great deal but do not have the capital to buy it or have the paperwork system in place?

Need further questions answered on the ins and outs of running a group home?

Want to fast track it right now? Just get the FREE 10-PART COURSE. No licenses needed, minimal capital required and you can be up and going in 30-45 days.

WHERE DO YOU THINK THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIVE ONCE THEY ARE EVICTED?

HINT: YOUR GROUP HOME!

There has NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO START YOUR GROUP HOME. Demand is SKYROCKETING! PEOPLE NEED A PLACE TO LIVE! THIS IS THE REAL BEAUTY OF THIS COURSE!
