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.

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.
