So are you saying the goup should pool the money, buy the floors, and "re-sell" the individual units to the members? Thats a possiblilty but it complicates things on our end iand introduces a new element of trust and liability. This would be something to discuss with a developer.
Basically, yes we are re-selling it to our members. As it may sound bad, it's not. And complications are avoided, because we can take our time and sell it slowly. To explain again:
1 LEVEL - Whom ever got the money - go as a group and buy floors or building. They act like one, and they bring their policies with them. They say for example - we are going to advertise this property for 100dhs more per sqft. We are going to sell individual units without 2% fee, and it's, again, going to be cheaper than market price. It's big investment and it's more risky. Returns are divided in equal parts, depending how much was initial investment.
2 LEVEL - Wider audience of members - can take their time and pick and choose whatever they like. It's going to be within community. It's going to be easy, and you can trust to people. Whoever comes first - snatches good views.
Max, I'm thinking out loud. No body is saying that this is best idea, but if you think it faulty somewhere, please give your comments, they are most welcome. We are here to come up with best idea.
Potential Problems with Community (as it is without 2 LEVELS)
- Are you going to have exact number of people who are willing to buy? Ever?
- What make you think that someone would rather sell something to 100 people than just 1???
- How is going to decide who picks first? If you come up in front of Developer and arguing start to who have first pick - what kind of image (of community) that going to create?
- From different perspective, you would need to go to developer and say "I have 1000 potential buyers" - what is he going to say???
- And if he agrees to 1000 buyers - and you have 400 of them back up, because it's not good for them, what should be the next step???
