Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: our own insurance

[John Faust (wjfaust]

Elph,

I do endorse this approach. One of the investments of such an insurance pool
could be the development of cohousing through construction loans to
qualifying construction-ready groups with a qualifying plan of development.
This might allow more freedom in how such a group legally organizes.

Who would invest? Existing cohousing associations looking for a responsible
and reliable place for their reserve funds, cohousing residents tired of the
"high-flying" financial sector circus and others with confidence in the
concept.

Who would manage the fund? Professionals hired by Coho US. Who better
understands or has confidence in cohousing? Who is a better judge of a sound
cohousing plan worth investing in?
