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.

There customer service responds timely but I'm usually stuck with more answers than questions. 

I’m curious to hear from other investors who have ventured into flooded properties such as what challenges did you face, particularly with insurance and permitting?

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.

If you're looking to make short term use of the equity and have a private lender/investor who's willing to think outside of the box, you might be able to create a custom repo agreement. 

Most HOAs do allow rentals but you may need to obtain a rental permit or adhear to certain lease provisions.Feel free to PM me if you have any questions - would be happy to chat / give guidance

I can't speak to that myself, it's not my specialty but I think that would be one of your biggest concerns is their permit processes. 

Definitely recommend reaching out to the city first to confirm what permitting would be needed for added square footage.

Glad you have good customer service as well -- something that wasn't done well in 2014-2015.
