Ideas for July meeting

Talk to someone who knows about fund-raising

Particularly interesting areas of expertise:

Talk about a social venture

This would look like some sort of for-profit business where the profits go towards putting houses in a land trust

Learn about landtrust interventions

The organization that holds the land deed has power over the collective living on the land. How has this been used in the past?

Questions to work on in small groups

  • Interventions and power relationship between house and landtrust

Real Estate 101

Introduction to terminology, mortgages, liens, conventional real estate financing, etc.
Can someone within our group give a good overview of this for us all?
