Here’s what a 'co-ownership consultation' would look like:- We review an active listing of your choice to:- Build a cost-of-co-ownership model for the property which includes:- Individual ownership and ongoing cost assumptions- Modeling potential rental income for short-term rentals- Modeling financial outcomes from various exit scenarios- Tax benefits and considerations of shared homeownership- Pros/cons of different ownership structures (joint tenancy, LLC, tenants in common, etc)- Talk through the legal agreements (I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice but I do have extensive knowledge about TIC and other co-ownership agreements)- Briefly discuss some of the ways AI is making the work that goes into successfully managing a shared home easierIf you're interested, here's what I'm asking:- You’re a U.S. citizen or permanent resident interested in co-owning in the U.S.- You choose a property that’s actively listed and something you'd realistically be interested in co-owningShoot me a message if you're interested and open to 30ish minute chat.Thanks!
