Cohousing is just one way we can choose to live in community together. More and more individuals and families are choosing to purchase and share space together- whether it's a Vancouver Special with seperate up and down suites for 2 families, or a large house with multiple bedrooms shared amongst millennials. In this session, Sandra will share her hands on experience in finding the right property, working with co-ownership agreements, and the professionals you need on your team. Bring your questions! |
