Initially we created a Limited Liability Partnership and all members contributed $1000. Once we had identified property, the members again were expected to contribute from $3000 to $11,000 depending on the size unit they wanted (studio to 4-bedroom townhouse). A Third deposit was required at the time we closed on the property, again depending on size of unit. Those who could not come up with the cash were charged interest until they did - usually at closing. The incentive was that people putting up the cash were guaranteed units of their choice. The balnce of the funds we needed were contributed by members who were able (amounts ranging from $10K to $100K). They were given notes and interest at the going amount for real estate mortgages. Some of this money is still owing and is being paid back out of monthly fees. Hope this helps. RowenaC e
