Basic Guidelines of Coownership Program
The most fitting description of this program is that you share ownership of this property. You have a vested interest in the investment just as you would be if you owned it entirely yourself, however you are sharing the costs with a small group of other like-minded individuals. Your mindset and approach should be similar to owning it individually, with the only distinction being that you have partners in this property. To ensure smooth ownership, there is an operation manager who operates on behalf of all the owners.
- It resembles direct ownership, yet involves delegating another professional to handle the property’s day-to-day aspects, aspiring for a more passive approach.
- The general goal is a long term buy and hold rental, preferably not less than 7 years, ideally more than 10 – but owners can always vote on it in the future.
- The purchase is made in cash; however, once owned, co-owners can decide whether they would like to rely on each other’s resources or not.
The Operation Manager
SDI has collaborated with a knowledgeable individual in real estate investment within the local area to manage all the ongoing matters concerning the rental property.
The use of OM eliminates the owner’s responsibility of overseeing the daily management and maintenance of the property, as well as making decisions related to it.
Responsibilities
Although the OM is responsible for supervising and managing the daily operations, there are certain tasks that the OM is not authorized to handle or approve, and requires seeking majority owners’ approval:
- Sale the property
- Obtain a mortgage or refinance
- Approve an expense over $12,500
- Terminate or replace property management company
- Majority owners may elect to terminate the OM
