Group Home Investing
Are there any group home investors in this platform? I'm in the process of researching information and talking to people in FB groups who are actually succeeding in the shared housing model of investing. Some have sober homes for men or a place for youths who have aged out of foster care. Domestic violence safe homes are always in demand. I plan to start a group home for homeless women veterans. There is always a need for housing for homeless veterans nationwide, but this population is definitely underserved. I speak from experience. The VA is moving to the shared housing model for their veterans to get them off the street. Just need landlords willing to participate in heart-centered investing. I need a house.

Good morning, my wife and I have been running transitional homes for men and women 18+ who struggle with chemical/mental health issues going on roughly 5 years.
I have come to find out that every city,county and state have different rules/regulations when it comes to starting group homes.
Research your local city zoning ordinance and reach out to your local county human services department for more information.
If you have more specific questions you would like to ask feel free to reach out and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.
Good luck!
