After a number of working group meetings and unConference sessions, we have realized that there is a lot of interest in our community around exploring alternatives to the single family home+30 yr Mortgage model of housing and property ownership.
Some topics we will be covering in this group include:
*exploring co-living and ownership models
*Visioning the community/eco-village we want
*ins and Outs of a real estate transaction
*traditional and alternative real estate financing
*City ordinances, zoning and land use
*Property Case Studies
