Hello All,

Although I am not now living in an IC nor Cohousing community, I have
been studying such for decades.

At this time, I am working to envision, define, and create a new type
of Intentional Community with multiple goals, including structural
changes in financing to combine affordability, Cohousing community,
and attractive returns for investors.

Ideally, these plans could be scaled and apply to a wide variety of
locations and housing types.

One key idea is to embrace fractional ownership, where residents
and/or investors can share in equity ownership.   For example,  even a
single bedroom in a co-living property could be owned in a fractional
way.

The benefit and motivation is to enable renters to become home owners
by purchasing and gain fractional equity ownership over time.  That
fractional equity could be sold at market rates (more or less) when
the fractional owner/resident is ready to move on (and hopefully use
the proceeds to “move up”) to a more substantial home ownership
condition.

I am happy to discuss with any interested.  I have heard that some
members of the Cohousing.org(?) board are working on affordability
issues, and I'm happy to connect.
