Realtaasa paves a new accessible path to homeownership through co-owning—benefiting both sellers and buyers.
What is co-ownership?
Co-ownership is a legal way for two or more persons to own a real estate property together.
Co-ownership can be applied to different types of properties such as house, condo, townhouse, duplex, tri-plex and 4-plex.
If you're looking to buy property or are trying to find alternatives to renting, co-ownership could be the right solution for you. By teaming up with other co-buyers, you'll be able to share the mortgage cost and put down a collective down payment on a property you wouldn't be able to afford alone. For some buyers, co-ownership provides an intermediary step from renting to full ownership.
Looking to sell part of your current property? Using co-ownership, you - the seller - can free up the cash locked in your property equity, potentially pay less taxes, and avoid any moving stress.
By downsizing, co-owners can have a minimalist lifestyle as well as more spending budget for travel and other things in life.
Why co-ownership?
Down payment and mortgage monthly cost are divided between the co-owners, making homeownership possible for many in desirable locations.
For many, it is a choice. Some co-owners prefer to keep their housing cost low so they can work less, travel more and diversify their investment. Others prefer downsizing and a minimalist lifestyle.
Siblings, aging parents with adult kids, empty nested relatives are a few examples of family members co-owning together. Realtaasa helps you find the right home and financing to fit your needs and assists you with the legal co-ownership paperwork.
A landlord and building owner sells a vacant unit to a new fractional buyer. She gradually gets equity out and gets out of renting without paying a large lump sum of taxes had she sell the entire building at one time.
An out-of-town investor who does not want the burden of landlording can be the right co-buyer for a local resident. The investor comes up with most of the down payment while the local resident pays most of the mortgage. This could be a win-win arrangement for both co-buyers.
