“Dear PoP,
Anyone ever heard of a limited equity cooperative? This looks like you “buy” for $6,000.00, pay $750.00 a month, then get your $6,000 back when you “sell?”
The Craigslist ad says:
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:
1489 Newton Street CooperativeOur Cooperative has 3 one-bedroom units available for sale. We are located in Columbia Heights on Newton Street, NW, between 14th and 16th Streets, just a three blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro Station, around the corner from the new DC USA shopping center.
The buying price is $6000 and the monthly carrying charge is approx $750.
You get the buying price back when you move out and sell your apartment, and the monthly charge covers your proportional share of the building’s expenses.
The apartments are about 650 sq ft., arranged in a suite style, in which the living room and bedroom are in opposing haves of the unit, and the kitchen and bathroom are clustered in between. All units have gas stoves, refrigerators, new carpet, and new paint. The building features a laundry room on site, in the basement.
Sounds pretty cool – anyone ever heard of a deal like this before?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
