You know, I never thought I would be able to buy a house while being in grad
school. Like that just doesn't compute, but with this situation,
I'm gonna tear up.
It's allowing me to do both.
I'm getting everything I want.
I'm Jason. I'm Kristina, Jason's wife. I'm Edwina, Christina's mother.
And we just CoBought our home.
Like I mentioned earlier, he's a teacher and I'm gonna be a mental health
counselor. So not, you know, very high-paying jobs but, you know, we're not
willing to do jobs that we're not interested in in order to make more
money. Meanwhile my mom, she was going to retire
and when she retired she knew that she
wasn't gonna be able to pay a mortgage anymore.
And we, you know, we're never going to be able to, not never, but it would take us a
long long time to save up for a down payment independently. So, we were kind of
able to all get what we want, by my mom contributing all the down payment to a
co-living situation and then my husband and I we're covering the mortgage, so my
mom is retired without a mortgage, and we were able to buy a house; get into the
real estate market way sooner than we would have been able to otherwise.
It was a win-win. Win-win all around.
Win-win-win I should say. Yeah.
Yeah, we didn't even know if we could afford to use legal services. So that's why I
was excited to connect with you, Matt, and and everyone else at CoBuy.
Because, number 1, you guys were able to guide us through a lot of
of the same process, for free, but even more than that
I loved the positivity, instead of
discouraging us from pursuing this,
you actively encourage people to smartly
consider their options in terms of join ownership,
and creative buying solutions.
All those bad scenarios
that can happen, we constantly talked about a head of time, I think,
when we all decided that we wanted to CoBuy.
Even if a group of people aren't sure
that they want to proceed
I think going through the CoBuy process would be a
really good way to learn about all of the ins and outs, all the considerations
that need to be made.
What I valued most about CoBuy was it helped open up my
mind, and it forced me to think about scenarios that were uncomfortable that I
didn't want to think about and wouldn't have thought about if it wasn't for the
CoBuy questionnaire, the online questionnaire.
Are you glad that we forced you to think...
Yes! I am. Some of the questions
were a little uncomfortable but I'm glad that I did it, yes.
And I feel
much better coming out the other side.
