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.

Any advice or tips?

im in the process of doing that right now any tips so i dont overspend on reno since a nonconforming duplex is more valued at cashflow than the arv

I haven't used rentalhero (yet, thanks for the tip!)

Are there any books or resources you can recommend to get me started with the basics?

I have resources I use to get an estimated idea of that, but always good to hear from someone whos already in the game.

I'm definitely up for some tips!

Happy to send over some resources on why Columbus is a great real estate market to invest in.
