Congratulations! When you buy together it is time for Champagne!
I have been talking about buying together with other people for a long time. Things have not worked too well as various people have tried to get this happening. People wanted to live in different places, had different amounts to put down etc. I now have a client who is quite serious about finding a place that satisfies her needs, but to make it happen she will have to move out of town or buy with other people – thanks to the expenses of the city.
We have decided that the best way to move ahead would be to meet with people who have shown interest in co-buying in the past and see what their needs might be. If it would work for several people to buy together and the needs of several people could dovetail then we could go ahead and find a multiple unit building.
Needless to say, this form of buying does have other problems, but the benefits might override the handicaps. After all, buying together might be no more problematic than dealing with a strata council. In any case, all will be discussed at our meeting.
Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, January 23rd at my house, 741 East 28th Ave. and you are invited to come and see if this option can work for you. Feel free to bring anyone else you might find whom you think will be interested. I am also sending this out to others who might know someone who might like to buy with others. You might not like the original plan, but may find someone whom you could enjoy sharing a property with for the future. Take a chance. Join us at 7:30. You have nothing to lose.
