If it's tough for us with all our infrastructure?
No shot 2–4 people co-owning a home can do it without proper systems.
Co-ownership is a small business. It needs a system of record.
That's what we're building.
We're a systems-driven startup with 3 FT co-founders.
We have systems and tech that should solve payment tracking.
But today: hours spent untangling what's due, when, and why.
Different structures. Different frequencies. Different channels screaming updates.
PSA: If parents help with a down payment...details matter.
🎁 Gift → requires paperwork + lender notice
✂️ Loan → requires paperwork + lender notice
🏠 Co-sign → ties up parent's debt capacity
💰 Investment → creates ownership stake
Clarify early. Don't wait until tax time (things get messy).
Co-buying payment pyramid showing 30+ parties get paid at closing and leave
This pyramid is why your parents' agent isn't enough.
Everyone above the money gets paid and leaves.
Everyone below pays and stays for 10 years.
With zero structure for what comes next.
Before hiring: "How many non-married co-buyer deals?"
Zero = run.
Reply CHECKLIST for the guide.
Co-buying and co-owning a home are complicated.
So many moving parts; and they're all inter-related, which makes things tougher.
After nearly 9 years, here's what we know:
Best way to solve this set of complicated challenges? Break it down into small pieces. Tackle them systematically.
I’ve watched co-buyers lose homes + relationships over missed deadlines.
That’s why we built the Property Events Calendar — the heartbeat of Co-ownerOS™.
Co-buying a home with family or friends? That’s $350k+ at risk, $700k+ on the line.
We built Co-ownerOS™ so groups don’t gamble with that.

🏠 CoBuy featured in the LA Times!
Their piece on housing's future highlighted how more friends are co-buying than ever—30% of US home sales now involve co-buyers.
Young people aren't waiting for perfect situations. They're pooling resources to build wealth together.

We didn't set out to build Co-ownerOS™.
It's an evolution--years of helping CoBuy groups of all shapes and sizes. Siblings, friend groups, parents helping kids, intergenerational households, multiple couples...imagine a combo. We've been privileged/entrusted to work on. And we're co-buyers, too.
The 6-month mark is when co-buying gets weird. Questions pile up. Static builds. Kitchen conversations go nowhere.
We've learned: people just need to talk. Make the implicit explicit. Get it structured before small doubts become big problems.
Structure is love.

The only thing 'crazy' about friends buying together (multi-party investment management) = just winging it.
That's why we built Co-ownerOS™. cobuy.io
Screenshot of Moneywise article featuring co-buying as transformative shift with CoBuy mentioned as platform helping people through co-ownership process
Moneywise called co-buying transformative.
9 years ago, we started CoBuy from our own experience: homeownership was broken.
Sometimes the future takes a while to become obvious.

The co-ownership honeymoon ends the first time the toilet breaks on a Tuesday.
Suddenly, "we'll figure it out" becomes a fight over a $300 plumber bill that kills a 15-year friendship.
You don't need more trust. You need a system.

Just asked my 85yo grandma:
Me: "If you and I co-buy a home together, what are your top questions/concerns?"
Gran: "I'd have tons of questions. But they always seem to come up after the fact."
Bingo.
