   Dave,
       I know the Burlington Vermont cohousing group is looking at just
such an option. The person I talked to is Don Schram of Burlington
Cohousing. It seemed as if they were about to close on purchasing a
small apartment building and doing something very similar to what your
talking about. Give him a call he's been at this for awhile and seems
very excited about it jelling.
