Most beginners think they’re too late to start an independent living home business.

Too old.Too inexperienced.Too far behind.

But Michelle’s story proves otherwise.

In this episode of The Housing Dept. Podcast, Terence sits down with Michelle — a former nurse who started her independent living home business later in life after major career and life changes.

She had no background in real estate, no perfect roadmap, and no experience running shared housing. But despite landlord rejection, uncertainty, and fear, she still took the first step.

Today, her home is full.

What we cover:

• How to start an independent living home business as a beginner
• Starting a shared housing business later in life
• Finding landlord partners for group homes
• Filling rooms using Facebook Marketplace
• Building confidence as a first-time operator
• The reality of starting from scratch
• Why consistency matters more than perfection

If you’ve been thinking about starting a group home, sober living home, co-living space, or shared housing business… this episode is the reminder that it’s never too late to begin.
