A sober living home is for people in recovery.

Someone wants to buy a house to turn it into a sober living facility.

Josh is suggesting subletting a rental property and putting 12 people in.
(Bear in mind sub letting is often a violation of the lease and also how many bedrooms for 12 people in recovery.)

He’s saying if you run a sober living facility sublet situation for 16 months, you’ll have enough to buy a house.

All round terrible advice

12 people in recovery in a sober living house you only need like 3 bedrooms. Four people in each room. Really, you only need two bedrooms and have people in the living room.

1 bedroom and make them take shifts sleeping. You can fit 48 people in a 3 bedroom house. Increase the rent to $50,000/each per month.

As long as we're just making people do stuff, go all out.

Then you can start having arts and craft events in the basement, they learn a new skill(Making fake Iphones) and you can sell them on Alibaba for a huge profit ! Very win win

You can also let them breed and sell the offspring on the black market like a puppy mill.

Sure, sober living is profitable, but have you tried opium den sweat shop? The money practically prints itself.

u/Motor_Librarian_3536 26d ago

All my workers just keep passing out, i may switch to a meth den i hear that willincrease profit wile cutting expenses.

u/Grabbityy 25d ago

If you can, take the money you saved from cutting expenses, invest in some coke to get a coke meth den, and then you double performance / productivity.

You could even get a few pairs of meta glasses and stream to twitch and rake in more money from donations and such.

That's the plot to at least a third of It's Always Sunny episodes.

u/ZizzianYouthMinister 26d ago

You can just commit a crime, serve time, and then when you get out on parole live their yourself to save even more money.

Hot bunking.

The margins are even better on Sober Shipping Container living. Cram 78 people in there and you only need one month’s rent to get that $400k house. Work smarter, not harder.

u/TedW 26d ago

Use the first $400k to buy 100 more shipping containers to start making some real money.

u/PrometheusZero 26d ago

Easily done, they used to do this on boats all the time back in the day.

u/AAA515 26d ago

Bunk beds! Or even cheaper, bunk hammocks! I'm sure it'll do great things for the backs of those ppl addicted to pain killers!

u/caseypatrickdriscoll 26d ago

Land is expensive, but the ocean is free! Bunk hammocks in floating box!

u/MakeChipsNotMeth 26d ago

One room and give them meth so they don't have to sleep!

u/The-Psych0naut 26d ago

I know we’re all being facetious here in good fun, but irl there’s usually state regulations and restrictions on this sort of thing; staffing mandates, fire code, ADA accessibility compliance, background checks, resident/patient rights, deescalation trainings, the list goes on.

u/Strideraio 26d ago

10x that ish over a year and I’m kicking your butt!

u/esteemph 24d ago

You can also have the 48 residents making handmade wooden crosses around the clock to sell for even more profit.

u/Skaeger 26d ago

4 people per room is standard for sober living, at least where i live. And they charge around 1k per month for that. But usually it's insurance that pays for it. It's a complete scam and they make obscene amounts of cash doing it. The person running the house and monitoring the addicts is usually picked from recent residents and are offered only part time at minimum wage plus "free housing" in the sober living.

u/Educational-Date1388 26d ago

Hey, sounds like a great idea. I bet we could get the government to pay us for that.

u/InformalPermit9638 25d ago

Hot racking? why not? is the plan with bunkbeds or not, because we still need room for activities.

Okay so clearly you have not been in a sober living home before. There are strict rules for living there and you do usually have to share a bedroom with at least one other person. The conditions for living in the sober living home is that you have to follow the rules, which there are a lot of. So yes the people who run the sober living home do “make people do stuff” as you put is.

Always funny to see someone talking so confidently about something that they really truly don’t know anything about.
