Moving to the next stage: from group formation to site selection and development

July 19, 2011

We’ve had a number of groups trying to get started in these tough economic times and have heard similar concerns from each of them.  Many groups seem to be struggling with the following issues:

1.     Trying to keep the group together because you like each other, knowing that you will not get consensus on property.

2.     Having trouble committing to an offer on a site without being able to see where all of the funding is coming from.

3.     Finding that your property values (assets from their existing homes) have dropped substantially since you first started crunching the numbers.

4.     Realizing that lending institutions have tightened their lending requirements.

If you find that your group is challenged by some, or all, of these issues, we’d like to help. I’ve reserved 8-9 am PST Monday – Friday for responding to groups that are at this stage, and will happily provide a free consultation regarding these issues. Please email me at charles.durrett@cohousingco.com to reserve a morning hour, and then give me a call at: 530-265-9981 so that I can help move your group forward.

Looking forward to talking to you.

Chuck
