Hi NewDay1, yes, that's my website (blog, book, etc). Thank you for checking it out :)
re: Share in property, I mean you can co-purchase with others. So, maybe one person alone doesn't have the money for a property or doesn't want sole financial (or other) responsibility for it... You might buy a property with one, three, six, twelve other people. You would own a percentage and gain from appreciation (if that occurred), being responsible for a proportionate amount of ongoing ownership costs (taxes, utilities, etc).
Examples:
1. Three people buy one condo or house together and live inside it together, as co-owners (or one owner lives inside it and pays a rent to the others).
2. Three people buy a house together, convert each floor to its own suite, each owner has one level/suite.
In these, one might use a mixer mortgage -unrelated people having mortgages on the same property, adding up to the total buying price, each responsible for their own mortgage.
3. Five people form a business or co-op and buy land or dwelling together.
4. Twenty people build a cohousing development, presumably reducing cost per unit (but not if they do an expensive build).
In each case, a person can buy into real estate with less money. If it appreciates, one or more sells their portion and takes their portion of the gain.
If going one of these paths, definitely have a legal contract in place via a lawyer, all contingencies considered. When that's in place, it can work very well!
