FAQ
What exactly are we raising money for?
We’re raising $150,000 to purchase and renovate an initial property. This first project is a way to prove our ability to work together, grow our investment, and develop the systems we’ll need for larger goals—like eventually purchasing long-term land for the family. This is the “test run,” and all funds are tracked, documented, and used transparently.
Is this a donation or an investment?
It’s both. You’re contributing toward a shared goal that benefits the family long-term, but we also treat this seriously as an investment. The goal of our first property flip is to generate a return that funds future phases—property acquisition, infrastructure, and family support systems. You’re helping launch something real and structured.
How is the money managed?
We’re using modern financial tools that allow for full transparency. Every contribution, expense, and distribution is trackable by the group. Decisions about spending are made collectively, with voting and visibility built in. No single person has unilateral control.
Who decides how the money is spent?
A core group of committed family members (ourselves, and others who are involved day-to-day) makes spending decisions collaboratively. In the long term, we’ll invite more family members into that process as interest and trust grow. Nothing is hidden, and input is always welcome.
What if the first property doesn’t make money?
We’re treating this like any serious investment—we’ll do our due diligence, work hard, and make smart decisions. But even if the first flip only breaks even or modestly succeeds, the experience we gain is a win: we’ll have learned how to work together, build trust, and prepare for the larger land purchase with fewer unknowns.
Do I have to live on the property or land someday?
Not at all. Some family members may want to live on the land full-time, others might visit occasionally, and many may simply want to support the vision without relocating. We’re designing this to include multiple levels of involvement—financial, relational, practical.
What if I don’t know anything about investing, real estate, or this type of project?
That’s completely fine. We’re building this so anyone can participate, regardless of background. If you want to support but don’t feel equipped, you can trust that those taking the lead are doing so carefully—and you’ll always be welcome to ask questions, offer input, or just stay in the loop.
Is this legally formalized? How protected is my contribution?
Yes—we’ve already formed an LLC to handle purchases and hold assets. But the real strength of our structure comes from something called a DAO (short for Decentralized Autonomous Organization). That’s just a fancy way of saying we use a modern, transparent system to help us make decisions together, track contributions, and share ownership responsibly. Instead of one person calling the shots, the DAO helps us stay accountable to each other—with everything visible and agreed upon. It's like having a family charter, voting system, and shared ledger all in one place.
Why not just invest in a traditional asset like stocks?
Because real estate gives us more than just a return—it gives us leverage, experience, and control. Flipping and selling properties has the potential for a significantly higher ROI than most stock portfolios, especially when we’re doing the work ourselves. It also builds the exact skills we’ll need to manage land, homes, and shared spaces down the line. Every phase teaches us something we’ll use in the next.
