Even though no capital is being collected yet, there are several ways to contribute to the build phase: **1) Learn the model** Read the pinned posts and the documents section to understand how the structure works. **2) Join advisory votes when they appear** These help measure alignment and surface concerns before decisions matter. **3) Review and discuss submitted properties** Analysis now improves decision quality later. **4) Ask clarifying questions in General Chat** Every question helps refine the community’s understanding. **5) Consider whether Class G membership makes sense for you** Class G members will be the group that eventually participates in the first Series window. No one is asked to move faster than they are ready. This stage exists to prepare people — not to pressure them.

Cooperative housing models succeed when they are designed correctly. Three reasons: **1) Shared risk lowers the barrier to entry** No single person needs full financing or approval. The cost and exposure are distributed. **2) Long-term holding creates stability** Because the goal is not fast resale or flipping, homes remain affordable and predictable for community tenants. **3) Structured governance prevents chaos** When bylaws define how decisions are made, the group does not rely on trust or personalities — it runs on rules, not opinions. This project is building these conditions before any money is involved, which is why the early phase is focused on education and alignment rather than execution.
