How It works

Real Estate Ownership, Shared

Real estate ownership becomes more accessible when people share funds, skills, and labor. Instead of one person shouldering all costs and risks, we spread both responsibilities and rewards among the group. Here’s how:

Step 1: Scout & purchase

First, we look for properties with strong long-term rental potential in local neighborhoods. After estimating costs and projecting rental income, we decide if the returns are likely to justify the purchase. Each member then contributes a mix of capital and labor, allowing us to undertake larger projects while reducing individual risk. By pooling these resources, we can target opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach for a solo investor.

Step 2: RenovatE & Manage

Once the property is secured, we assign renovation tasks according to each person’s strengths—some might handle demolition or painting, while others handle budgeting and coordination. We organize both group work sessions and smaller-scale projects as needed, cutting costs and building camaraderie along the way. Once the property is ready for tenants, our member-operated property management team takes over rent collection, maintenance, and tenant relations.

Step 3: Earn & Scale

Monthly rent is deposited into a shared project account, covering mortgage payments, maintenance, and profit distributions. We maintain complete transparency by regularly sharing financial updates, giving everyone a clear picture of performance and revenue. Members who wish to expand their holdings can reinvest their share of the proceeds into new properties, gradually building both their personal portfolio and the cooperative’s collective opportunities.

Four Levels of Involvement

Active Investors

  • Contribute a set amount of capital (e.g., $1-10,000)

  • We aim to keep individual contributions at or below $10,000 per property for stronger diversification and scalability

  • Share in returns without day-to-day labor

  • Participate in major decisions

Invest + Sweat Equity

  • Put in some capital

  • Increase your stake by working on renovations, upkeep, etc.

Sweat Equity Only

  • No upfront funds needed (if slots are open)

  • Earn ownership purely through hands-on work

Property Management

  • Handle tenant screenings, rent collection, maintenance

  • Earn a management fee or build up savings to invest later

Why It Works

By splitting costs, we invite a broader range of participants to invest in real estate. No one has to face unexpected expenses alone; instead, the group shares both challenges and solutions. Because we reinvest in local neighborhoods, ownership and benefits stay in the community. Transparent reporting ensures everyone knows where funds are going and how each project is performing, while a fair and democratic approach keeps things balanced as we grow our real estate portfolio.
