International real estate equity sharing concept

[George Carter]

I've been a real estate investor (multifamily, land, CRE) for 2 decades but have been working on a concept to purchase multiple properties in the US and around the world. The shareholders own and build equity while living in the properties.

Not selling anything or looking for money (right now!). Just wanted some feedback from any other BP members who are location independent, have worked with co-ops, international RE, or just curious.
Thanks, George

I have talked with several clients who have had a similar thought process - in their mind almost a "block chain" for the real estate investment.

Along with the SEC regulations regarding investment offerings, the IRS has neatly placed this "blockchain" type idea as being a tax partnership.  In this case, a tax partnership with an incredibly complex allocation structure.  In short...you are looking to create an open fund with some time share type qualities.  Meaning - it has been done, just by a different name, and maybe with slightly different terms.
