NEW OFFERING!

The Smart Way to Own a Second Home:

Partnering with Cohana Homes


We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Cohana Homes to offer this custom A-Frame home on the Deschutes River in Bend, Oregon as a co-ownership opportunity for $350,000. This isn’t a timeshare; it’s real, deeded ownership, shared with a group of like-minded owners, and it comes with a myriad of benefits for those seeking to own a vacation home in Bend.

For the same amount you would spend as a down payment to secure this property as a second home, you can own 25% of this property, affording you the opportunity to enjoy it as yours exclusively for 3 months out of the year, while not having to worry about anything else - all year long. Cohana Homes is currently seeking four partners, each purchasing a 25% ownership share in the LLC. Once all partners are in place, the home is purchased outright by an LLC managed by Cohana Homes, with each partner holding equal decision-making power and equal access to the home via a shared calendar managed by Cohana Homes.


Why Co-Ownership is a Great Idea:

  1.  Maximized Use & Minimal Commitment – Most second-home owners use their vacation home for just a few weeks each year. With 25% ownership, you enjoy your selection of the year - with the full benefits of a sole owner - without the burden of year-round upkeep and costs.

  2.  No Mortgage – The property is owned outright by the LLC, meaning your carrying costs are minimal - and shared by the 4 partners. You can deploy the funds you would have used for the mortgage elsewhere, or avoid having to consider AirBnB as an option for offsetting costs when you are not using the home.

  3.  Full-Service Management – Cohana Homes handles everything for you, from the creation of the LLC, to the calendar management and beyond. Often times the partners never know or even speak to one another. Bills are paid, maintenance is managed, improvements are decided on collectively and then executed on - all through the team at Cohana Homes. They even handle special requests for transitioning the home between partners. Want the small bedroom staged as an office instead of a bedroom when you arrive? They can do it.

  4.  True Ownership, Not a Timeshare – This is real property ownership model designed to make vacation homes more accessible at every level. Your money works for you because it isn't consumed in the carrying costs of sole ownership. Maybe you don’t only want a vacation home in Bend... You can co-own one another one in Hawaii, or on the coast - all without having to carry individual mortgages or manage the homes year-round.

  5.  Defined Exit Strategy - Maybe you don't want to commit to one vacation spot for the long haul. Cohana Homes plans an exit strategy into each LLC agreement. The timeframes are determined upfront, so there is no drawn out negotiations between partners at the end of the term. The only decision is whether to extend the LLC operating agreement for another predetermined term, or list and sell the whole property. Exiting your shared asset is a part of the game plan from the beginning.

  6.  Hassle-free Ownership - You get your time back because whether you are at the property or someone else is, all issues and requests are handled by Cohana's team. All you have to do is show up and enjoy your vacation home.
