Its good to have this forum so people can have enough knowlede to determine whether this type of model is what they need to get motivated.

Its still in scouting mode.

You are absolutely right, this residential care model is needed EVERYwhere and the demand will only double over the next decade, but supply will continue to fall behind.

My understanding is the Padsplit’s member agreement model is to avoid such situations.

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.

Ideally, you'd want closer to $40k-$50k to feel truly comfortable and have a safety net for your first investment property.

Do nothing...the tenant isn't renting that area and has no right to dictate how you use it as long as it poses no security/safety risk to them. 

If they find something I didn’t know about and they couldn’t have, or safety related then I’ll consider/cover some of it.

That’s why I invested in rentals—to have a safety net.I'm not exactly sure where you're at, but if your current situation is causing frustration or stress, there’s no shame in selling a property to free up capital.

I'm not looking to step on anyone's territory, rather wanting to help people that are in distressed mode because they are losing their home, are whatever the reason is that they are motivated to sell.
