Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer?

Yes, absolutely. While we provide educational resources and templates, you should always have a qualified real estate lawyer review any agreements before signing. They can ensure your interests are protected and the documents comply with local laws.

How long does it take to set up a group investment?

The timeline varies based on the structure you choose. Joint ventures can be set up relatively quickly (2-4 weeks) with proper legal assistance. Co-ops require more formal incorporation (1-2 months). Condos are typically the fastest to purchase but may have longer closing periods.

Can I finance a group purchase with a bank loan?

Yes, but requirements vary by structure. Joint ventures may need personal guarantees from all partners. Co-ops might require specialized lenders. Condos typically have the easiest financing options. We recommend speaking with a mortgage broker who has experience with group ownership structures.

What's the best structure for my group?

It depends on your group size, relationship dynamics, and long-term goals. Joint ventures work well for small, trusted groups. Co-ops are ideal for larger groups wanting formal governance. Condos suit those wanting individual ownership with shared amenities. Our comparison guide can help you decide.

Does OwnerPlex handle the transaction or just educate?

OwnerPlex is primarily an educational platform and marketplace. We provide resources, connect you with professionals, and offer a platform to find properties. We don't directly handle transactions but can connect you with qualified lawyers, brokers, and other professionals who can assist with the process.
