The Sober Living Starter Kit
Four practical pieces to help you open — or tighten up — a sober living home that actually works. Built from our own house in San Antonio: what worked, what cost us money, and what we'd do differently.
Piece 1 — The Texas Property Checklist™
The two traps that actually sink operators — HOA deed restrictions and city boarding-home occupancy rules — plus the location questions that matter more than the house itself: meetings, bus lines, bathrooms, and window privacy.
Piece 2 — Sample House Rules
The bones of the rules we run our own home with — zero tolerance, meetings, work, curfew, chores, guests, medications, fees — ready to adapt to your house and review with your attorney.
Piece 3 — The Honest Budget Worksheet™
A filled-in Texas example with the numbers people leave out: the manager's free bed (a real cost), utilities, insurance, drug testing, marketing — so you see the honest baseline, not a fantasy.
Piece 4 — Your First 90 Days
Foundation, filling the first beds, and tightening the machine — the week-by-week sequence we wish someone had handed us.
Plus the appendix: our real starter furnishing list — what an 8-bed home actually costs to furnish, and what to always buy new.
