I have pondered something like this from time to time including yesterday when a retired woman called. She is reluctant to buy a house herself and would prefer to rent a smaller unit. I have pondered an entity other that the occupant owning a large house that was shared by several people. This would allow all occupants the possibility of moving without having to change ownership of the unit. The ownership entity might simply be a member who lives elsewhere in the community. One complication that makes me reluctant to own another house is that I dont really want to be responsible for maintenance for another house. As I recall, N Street in Davis, Calif has had a number of examples of something similar to this over the years. Anyone know more about their experience? Anyway Joani I suggest something a bit more general than "Seeking potential Co-owners" like "Shared unit possibilities" which leaves the ownership open as well as making an ad for a unit available that has potential for being shared.
