Additional Shared Equity Tools: Adding Shared Equity Elements to Standard Ownership and Rental. The previous webinars looked at models where ownership of a property is shared between different parties. There are also tools that can keep property affordable for new purchasers or help a tenant build equity, while the property still remains largely in traditional ownership. We will take a look at equity building lease provisions, resale limiting deed restrictions, and conservation easements, and potential scenarios in which these tools might be applicable.
