@katbaird this is one of my favorite case studies because it dives deep into some of the tricky trade-offs of co-buying and how you navigated them.
In particular, I really like your point about not needing to knock out every piece of a legal agreement before securing a property (which can take too much time in a competitive housing market) and instead rely on a set of high-level principles and trust.
I also like how you came to realize that the ideal (2x 1000 sq ft homes in the hills) could take a back seat to the possible (2 smaller homes in the flats) --- because the thing that matters more is the community you'll build, not the exact home.
Congrats on pulling off your dream -- on a limited budget -- in the craziest housing market in the known universe. Your example is going to inspire a lot of others.

Loved this case study! It is the most realistic for what I’m looking for. ❤️
appreciate the hard line on not displacing existing renters 💜
