The great thing about co-ownership in real estate is your group’s ability to COMBINE-LEVERAGE-SPLIT. Rather than shouldering burdens on your own, the group comes together as a collective and community to share the benefits and burdens of home ownership together.
When you buy as a group, this is known as COMBINE-LEVERAGE-SPLIT:
Combine funds to increase the percentage of the down payment
Leverage everyone’s income to increase the property value you group qualifies for.
Split monthly housing costs to make ownership more affordable
Using this method, you can budget and assess the ongoing costs of home ownership. Try it with the table below!
