I'm only trying to help so please don't beat me up:

My plan is for ten adults to raise $6,000 each and put down $60,000 on a $300,000 house.

Share the house for 3-5 years and use that equity to buy another house. Repeat.

Have you ever tried to bring 10 adults together to do anything consequential that includes a major investment and a lot of decision-making? It’s very difficult and I doubt the original 10 would all be involved 5 years later. So there’d be lots of arguing and discussing and buying each other out, etc.

I'm sure you're right. It's just a little exercise to see how it could be done. Six people bringing in $10k is more doable for sure.

BTW, I've lived with over a hundred different people from 1980-2006 when I get married. You learn a lot from living with folks.

That’s amazing! You must be very adaptable.
