If you found this page by searching “How to Start a Group Home”, you’re not alone. The need for affordable housing is growing, and many aspiring entrepreneurs see this as a great opportunity—not just to help people, but to build financial freedom and escape the 9-to-5 grind.
But where do you even begin?

❓How many employees do you need?
❓Can your neighbors shut you down?
STOP! Confusion Costs You Money
Here’s the hard truth: Many agencies, consultants, and so-called “experts” thrive on keeping things confusing.
They’ll give you stacks of paperwork, overwhelm you with legal jargon, and charge thousands of dollars just to help you through the process. The result? Many people spend years and tens of thousands of dollars just to get their group home off the ground.
Check out what one of our members shared in our Gold Course Forum:
“My son is currently operating his group home in Maryland. It took him three years and no less than $100,000 just to house three clients. He adds one client per year and provides 24/7 care. I look forward to using your course to streamline my process!”
It doesn’t have to be this complicated.
The Secret: Keep It Simple
Think about it this way: If you had an extra bedroom and wanted to rent it out, would you need a special license? Probably not.
Now, what if your tenant was:
✅ A senior citizen?
✅ A disabled person?
✅ A veteran?
✅ A recovering addict?
Would that change the licensing requirements? No.
Even if your tenant needs medical care a few nights a week, do you have to be a nurse or hire one? Again, no. You can simply outsource licensed care to third parties and focus on providing housing—just like any other landlord.
Your Legal Protections: The Federal Fair Housing Act
Many people fear that local regulations will stop them from operating a group home. But here’s the key: The Federal Fair Housing Act protects you.
As long as you:
✔️ Follow standard property codes (yard maintenance, repairs, safety regulations)
✔️ Provide clean, safe housing
✔️ Adhere to rental laws like any other landlord
…you have the right to operate your group home without being blocked by local authorities or disgruntled neighbors.
