@HolmesosaurusRx It’s much easier to make decisions before an unplanned event forces you to make one.

[Matt Holmes 🏴‍☠️ @HolmesosaurusRx]

If it isn't written, it doesn't exist.

You can co-own a house for years on good vibes. Then someone wants out, dies, or stops paying -- and "we'll figure it out" meets a judge who never met you.

Every one of these exits is a fight you settle now, on paper, or pay for later. We get it in writing.

Q: Should we buy a house together? Are we ready?

A: Why rush?

[CoBuy @gocobuy]

The most common co-ownership failure mode isn't legal. It's relational.

One co-owner ends up tracking everything: tax, insurance, HOA, inspections. The others assume "we'll figure it out."

Three years in, that co-owner wants to sell.

Homeownership is on lockdown. Unless you're a married couple, the system works against you.

[Matt Holmes 🏴‍☠️ @HolmesosaurusRx]

Ever thought of co-buying a house with fam or a friend? This is for you.

That's it. That's the tweet.

@HolmesosaurusRx Co-ownerOS can help make sure it all gets done.

[Matt Holmes 🏴‍☠️ @HolmesosaurusRx]

Co-ownership creates recurring obligations nobody tracks.

Insurance renewals. Tax deadlines. HOA assessments.

One person ends up doing everything. That's not governance. That's an unpaid job.

Co-ownerOS fixes this.

@HolmesosaurusRx Roger that, dude!

Titling your assets, naming your beneficiaries, and aligning your intentions BEFORE you can't is so important. It's often not until someone close to you is incapacitated or dies that you realize the nitty gritty in these decisions.

[CoBuy @gocobuy]

Most co-buyers don’t realize how much rides on how they take title.

Tenants in common vs. joint tenants with right of survivorship isn’t paperwork. It determines:
- what happens if someone dies
- whether you can transfer your interest
- how disputes get resolved

If no one in your group asked the question, someone answered it for you.

Co-buying ain't easy.

How much house can you afford together? 👇

[pam hughes @DigitalDocent]

Multi-gen co-buying has a hidden friction point: experience asymmetry.

15% of US home purchases are multi-generational.

One party knows the vocabulary. The other is learning it in real time.

That gap closes with shared understanding—not reassurance.

[CoBuy @gocobuy]

Housing professionals are trained to close deals.
They’re not trained to manage home co-ownership.

That’s a training gap, not a character flaw.

[CoBuy @gocobuy]

Most co-buying disasters aren’t caused by bad intentions.

They’re caused by missing exit plans.

People (think that they) agree on how to buy.
They don’t agree on how to unwind.

What happens if someone wants out?
What happens if someone can’t pay?
What happens if life changes?

If those questions aren’t answered up front, the “trust” everyone relies on gets stress-tested later.

That’s when things break.

[pam hughes @DigitalDocent]

@gocobuy So true. Remember that roommate in college who you got along with famously? Then, their boyfriend moved in and . . . things just went down hill from there. Gotta get ahead of these things.

[CoBuy @gocobuy]

Buying with friends or family usually goes sideways for one reason:
the hard conversations happen too late.

CoBuy Wizard gives your group a structured way to surface alignment, readiness, and risk — before money, listings, or pressure get involved.
