Many people say they want to start an Independent Living Home...

But life gets in the way.

Work gets busy.

Family needs your attention.

There's never a "perfect" time.

In this episode of The Housing Dept. Podcast, Terence sits down with Dr. Julia Davis, a member of The Housing Dept. Community, who launched her first Independent Living Home while working, completing her PhD, and balancing family life.

Julia shares the challenges she faced—from finding the right property and building referral partnerships to overcoming fear and staying consistent even when progress felt slow.

If you've been waiting for the perfect time to start, this episode is the reminder that you don't have to have everything figured out before taking the first step. What you'll learn:

✅ How Julia started an Independent Living Home while earning her PhD

✅ Marketing strategies that helped her build referral partnerships

✅ How she overcame fear of networking and phone calls

✅ Finding the right property without giving up

✅ Her resident screening process and house rules

✅ Why consistency matters more than perfection

✅ How The Housing Dept. Community helped her launch

One of the biggest lessons from this episode: You don't need more time—you need consistent action. No matter how busy life gets, progress happens one step at a time.
