Ok so here's my situation. I like where I live but it's kinda expensive. Due to the high price of land I don't quite have enough $ to buy and if I did, I couldn't renovate or rebuild. I could buy a unit/townhouse but I don't like them because they're either too small or have no outdoor/yard area...(don't like being boxed in ... )
So I had a thought....what if I found someone else (or a couple) who was also in the same situation as I am. We co-buy a place, subdivide it and build a duplex. Essentially it's going 50/50 on all the costs and each getting half a block. I like the idea of a duplex since there's no common land, no body corp fees and you each get some yard (either front or back), plus street access.
too crazy?....what do you think?
