Traditional lenders reject sober living homes. We underwrite them as what they are: residential income properties with an operator lease. No tax returns. No personal DTI. Qualify on the property's income.
Apply for Financing →How It Works
Most banks see "group home" and decline the file. DSCR financing evaluates the property's income — specifically the operator lease or documented per-bed rental income — to determine if the property qualifies. No personal income documents. No DTI calculation on your salary.
The sober living and recovery housing market is estimated at $7.5 billion in 2026, growing to $10.7 billion by 2030. Opioid settlement funds, expanding Medicaid reimbursements, and outpatient program growth all fuel demand — while financing remains scarce. That's the gap residential DSCR fills.
A residential home with 3-6 bedrooms suitable for sober living. Existing or converting — both work.
Either you operate it yourself, or you lease to an experienced sober living operator. The lease income is the underwriting basis.
Lenders divide the monthly property income by the mortgage payment. If DSCR ≥ 1.0–1.2×, the property qualifies — regardless of your personal income.
20-25% down, 620+ credit, and an operator lease or documented income. Close and collect the operator rent each month.
