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.

I can give you some advice and/or tips if you like. 

Best advice either save some money or use a DPA.

Thank you everyone for your insight and advice.

Thank you all for your advice and expertise.

Any advice is welcome.

However, their terms involve a 20-year amortization, a 5-year ARM, and a rate of prime + 0.5% thereafter.I’m exploring other options for financing and would appreciate any suggestions or advice.
