Many groups are ready to build their dream home, but have concerns about finances. Capital is needed for the down payment, monthly mortgage, taxes, insurance payments, and initial development costs.

- Discover creative ways to purchase property
- Learn dynamics that are important when buying as a group
- Learn what aspects of a communal property will set you up for success
- Hear lessons learned from other communities during the buying process
- Be able to ask specific questions about your desired project
