Recovery Housing Financial Calculator: Get a Custom Projection for Your Sober Living Property
If you’re evaluating a property for recovery housing (sober living), the first question is simple: Can this home work—and what might the numbers look like?
Our Recovery Housing Financial Calculator gives you a fast, practical first-pass projection so you can estimate bed capacity, rent revenue, operating expenses, and net income without building a spreadsheet from scratch.
Use the calculator to sanity-check a property, compare neighborhoods, and decide whether to lease, buy, or partner with an operator.
About the RHFC
What the calculator helps you estimate
When you complete the short form embedded on this page, you’ll receive a custom financial projection sent to your inbox. The projection is designed to help you sanity-check a recovery residence concept and understand what may be possible for a specific address.
Your estimate will include:
- Estimated bed capacity (based on square footage or an exact bed count you provide)
- Estimated rent revenue (based on median rent for your area or your chosen weekly rent)
- Typical operating expenses (based on size/capacity, with optional overrides you can provide)
- Projected net income (a simple view of what’s left after expenses)
Who this is for
The calculator is especially useful if you’re:
- Exploring a conversion and want a realistic “first pass” projection
- Comparing multiple properties or neighborhoods
- Deciding whether to lease, purchase, or partner with an operator
- Trying to align a real estate plan with real recovery impact
You don’t need to have everything figured out. The form supports “rough draft” inputs, and if you leave certain cost fields blank, the projection will still come back complete using standard assumptions.
What you’re asked (and why)
The form takes about five minutes and covers three simple areas:
1) A few details about you
This helps us deliver your projection and understand where you are in the process—so the estimate matches the kind of decision you’re trying to make.
2) Property basics
You’ll enter the property address and state so the estimate can reflect local rent assumptions and the specifics of the home you’re evaluating.
3) Capacity, rent, and optional cost inputs
You can choose the approach that fits your situation:
- Capacity: Enter total square footage (most common) or an exact bed count.
- Rent: Provide median monthly rent for your area or override with an exact weekly rent you plan to charge.
- Costs (optional): Add any monthly utilities/operating costs you already know (or skip them).
