Cohousing-L Mailing List: peer to peer lending club for Cohousing?

[S. Kashdan (s_kashdan]

Hi all,

This is Sylvie Kashdan of Jackson Place Cohousing in Seattle, Washington.

I am wondering if there is any current news of people working on developing
some sort of peer to peer lending or other kind of financing organization
specifically devoted to cohousing?

I recently read two articles in Consumer Reports on the topic of peer to
peer
lending and investing, and it seemed to me that it might be something worth
thinking about for cohousing financing, if there were some people with
banking knowledge and abilities who could organize it. What do others think?
