@Dennis GallagherIt's my understanding that the "Income-Expense Ratio" primarily use operating expenses as the expense variable, which includes costs like utilities, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, property management fees, and trash removal, all of which are considered when calculating a property's operating expense ratio (OER).You calculate OER by dividing the total operating expenses by the gross operating income of a property.

I want a successful, long-term operator. 

I plan to self-manage these properties and intend to operate my portfolio as a business, tracking all income and expenses while avoiding the commingling of personal and business funds.

I want to provide a safe, structured living environment for individuals transitioning out of recovery or other challenging situations.I’m new to this process and was hoping for advice on the following:How to navigate zoning laws and permits in Montgomery for this type of setup.Licensing requirements for sober living or group homes.Strategies for finding residents or partnering with local organizations.Financial and operational tips for managing this type of property.I’ve heard zoning can be tricky and want to ensure I comply with all legal and safety requirements.

Recently I have been hearing about multiple hosts in Texas that are getting citations for operating a coliving facility with occupancy greater than the permitted number of unrelated occupants.

For anyone following: It cost me $5 to file the updated statement of info and I simply drafted an amendment to the existing internal operating agreement to clarify our intent to operate as a married SMLLC. 

I'm not local to the area, and am not familiar with operating expenses for these types of projects.

However:Strategic Tax Planning: Work with a CPA who specializes in real estate to maximize deductions like depreciation, interest, and operating costs.Higher Rents for Premium Properties: Some investors offset the tax by focusing on properties in high-demand areas (downtown Greenville or near universities, for example) where they can charge a premium rent.Short-Term Rentals (STRs): Consider STRs like Airbnb, where higher nightly rates can make the numbers work better than long-term rentals.
