Disclaimers
Acquire Group Homes™ provides education, consulting, business systems and real-estate strategy. Being precise about what that is — and what it is not — matters to us.
01
What we provide
Acquire Group Homes™ provides education, consulting, business systems and real-estate strategy for people building shared-housing, recovery, reentry, transitional and family housing businesses.
02
What we do not provide
We do not provide, and nothing on this website constitutes, any of the following:
- Legal advice or the practice of law
- Medical advice or clinical guidance of any kind
- Clinical treatment, counselling, therapy or diagnosis
- Licensing determinations — these can only be made by the applicable state or local authority
- Tax advice or tax preparation
- Medicaid eligibility determinations or benefits advice
- Accounting, investment or financial advice
- Insurance advice or coverage determinations
Nothing on this website creates an attorney-client, physician-patient, accountant-client, fiduciary or any other professional relationship. You should retain qualified professionals licensed in the relevant jurisdiction before acting on anything you read here.
03
State and local requirements vary
Housing regulation in the United States is primarily state and local. The same operation can be treated differently in two adjacent counties, let alone two states.
- Operators must verify zoning and permitted use with the local planning authority
- Operators must verify licensing requirements with the applicable state agency
- Operators must verify occupancy limits, building code and fire code requirements
- Operators must verify fair-housing obligations, including reasonable accommodation duties
- Operators must verify insurance requirements and obtain coverage appropriate to the actual occupancy and use
- Operators must verify resident-rights requirements and landlord-tenant law applicable to their arrangement
- Operators must verify business permits, registration and any applicable tax obligations
- Property owners and operators must verify mortgage, HOA and deed-restriction requirements before changing a property's use
Things we never promise
Any claim resembling the following is not made by Acquire Group Homes™, and should be treated with scepticism wherever you encounter it:
“No license required”
“Guaranteed Medicaid payment”
“Guaranteed government contracts”
“Guaranteed occupancy”
“Eviction-proof lease agreements”
“Master leases avoid zoning”
We do not teach avoidance — not of zoning, licensing, disclosure requirements, landlord-tenant law, consumer-protection statutes or due-on-sale provisions. The strategies we teach are legitimate financial and operating arrangements when used appropriately and disclosed honestly.
04
On property-control structures
Master leases, lease-options, purchase options, seller financing, installment sales and land contracts are all legitimate structures — and all are treated differently by state law.
Land-contract and installment-sale arrangements in particular vary significantly by state and carry important disclosure, foreclosure, title and consumer-protection consequences. Anyone considering these structures must use qualified legal counsel licensed in the relevant state. Nothing on this website is a substitute for that review, and nothing here should be relied upon as a statement of the law in any jurisdiction.
05
On referrals and compensation
Federal and state anti-kickback and patient-brokering rules apply to referrals for many populations.
Acquire Group Homes™ does not pay for referrals and does not accept compensation for placements. We do not encourage, facilitate or teach the payment of referral fees, per-placement compensation or anything of value tied to a placement. Anyone building referral relationships should confirm applicable federal and state rules with their own counsel.
06
On results and outcomes
Your results depend on your market, your execution, your capital, your licensing environment and factors outside anyone's control.
We make no representation or guarantee about income, occupancy, funding, contracts, profitability or any other outcome. Any examples, illustrations or calculations shown on this website or in our materials are for educational purposes only and are not projections or promises. Testimonials or examples, where they appear, are not typical results and are not a guarantee of comparable outcomes. This site does not publish revenue figures, earnings claims or outcome statistics for that reason.
07
On the free tools
The Deal Analyzer™, Model Finder™ and Deal Control Finder™ are educational aids.
These tools perform arithmetic on the inputs you provide. They do not know whether a use is permitted, whether a payment is realistic or fundable, whether a property is insurable, or what your state requires. A favourable output is not a determination, an approval, advice or a recommendation — it is arithmetic. Model classifications produced by the Model Finder™ are possible classifications for you to verify with your state regulator, never licensing determinations.
The short version: we teach the business. Your attorney, your accountant, your regulator and your insurance carrier decide the rest. Verify everything with the professionals and authorities who have jurisdiction over your specific operation, and get important answers in writing.
This page is a summary for your convenience, not a complete statement of terms. Nothing here limits or replaces the terms you agree to when purchasing a product or service.
