    • @andrewlamb
      @andrewlamb  8 месяцев назад +1

      Most states have no license, certification or zoning requirements for sober living homes. So no need to notify anyone as long as you’re not providing any services. We just provide housing and utilities - all licensed services happen through outside 3rd parties.

    Start them 4 to a room. Increase cash flow and give them a short term goal and reward.

    • @andrewlamb
      @andrewlamb  6 месяцев назад +5

      Not our philosophy. Can’t fit 4 to a room in most homes without bunk beds. Many of our residents have been incarcerated in the past, and bunk beds can trigger PTSD. They also lead to higher turnover.

Myers, FL area and am looking to build new homes for the purpose of offering sober living. I tried to schedule a call but it looks like you're booked for March.

    • @andrewlamb
      @andrewlamb  9 месяцев назад +2

      If you already have a spot, it will work. I say 4 bed or bigger for when you’re buying a new property. Almost any existing property you own in a residential area should cashflow better as a sober living home than a longterm rental.

    How much money would you need to start a sober living home?

    • @andrewlamb
      @andrewlamb  Год назад +3

      I uploaded a new video yesterday showing how to buy a sober living home with little or no money out of pocket. We furnish our homes for less than $3000, and I recommend have 2-3 months worth of monthly payments on the home saved up but it’s not always necessary. We can fill up a home in less than 90 days.

    Andrew, thank you for sharing!! Absolutely great content. I'm a KW agent as well. My dad and I partnered together 2 years ago to start Sober Living Homes in honor of a passed family member. We're in Pennsylvania and we currently have 4 houses that we self manage. We're in a small town and finding the right houses to buy is slow and the population is small.
    Thinking of expanding to a bigger city like Philadelphia or Baltimore. Little nervous because I will be so far away from the houses and any operator I hire. Do large property management companies manage these types of homes, or do you recommend stick to self manage? Any advice on self managing from a distance?

    • @andrewlamb
      @andrewlamb  Год назад +5

      Definiltely get security cameras if you're from a distance so you know what's going on. I love Ring doorbells and floodlight cams so you can see who is coming and going. Most property management companies won't touch sober living, so it's best to find a resident to be your eyes and ears inside.
