Hi everyone-- I have a very nuts and bolts money question for you. Our group has been meeting since July and up until this point each "core" household (11) has only put in $100 bucks for expenses. As of May 1st, we are leveling the membership so that core households will now o pay $200 a month "fair share contribution" towards the option of land. We do not have a site or any professionals hired yet. We have 10 households (!) who want to be core at $200 a month. But the question that held up our group last meeting was...if we have a household join four months from now, do they have to pay $1200 down (to catch up to the membership) and then $200 a month and THEN the $100 bucks that the earlier core kicked in? The membership committee who wrote out the new membership levels did not include the initial $100 requirement but one household feels that if they had to pay it, why wouldn't the newcomers? Also, with the new $2000 a month that will be coming in, should that go in a separate account and the initial $100 payment be used for expenses and get replenished from the group? I thought that ALL of the money each household put in is considered predevelopment expenses that will come off the top of our mortgages. Just curious how other groups structure out their initial monetary payments before a site and before professionals. Thanks, Shelly DeMeo
