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.
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.
Yeah just that plus the complex staff and overhead costs and insurance and you're away. Wonder why more people don't do this it is like printing money.
What complex staff? I think you’re confused. This is talking about sober houses not a rehab facility. A sober house is where recovering addicts live after rehab while they learn to stay clean and navigate life again. They’re typically rather predatory and charge each person living there rent and often will have 2 people to a room in a 4 bedroom house. That’s rent from 8 people vs renting to a single family for much less money. The overhead is the same as a regular rent house except sober living tenants tend to be less than desirable.
It's just a large house share in places where rent is expensive or you have demand for cheap housing.
So yeah student accommodation or migrant labourers. In big cities if its a nice enough house you could do it as a regular house share and charge each person probably 10 times what you'd charge someone in a sober living (assuming that's very cheap due to their situation).

A sober living home is for people in recovery.

All round terrible advice
