Questions, answered straight.

Yes — with one to three carefully vetted people whose finances and lifestyle fit yours, the same way millions of people already share rentals. The difference is that you build equity instead of paying a landlord. The vetting, the matching, the 30-day trial, and the operating agreement are what make it work.

The structure is built to keep the mortgage current without touching you. Every owner is underwritten at application — income, credit, and months of carrying cost in savings — which filters out most defaults before closing. Each LLC also holds several months of mortgage reserves. If an owner falls behind, their membership units are re-sold through the marketplace to a new vetted owner, and you are never personally liable for their share.

You list your share on the Casita Marketplace. Existing owners get the first right to buy it at indexed market value, then it opens to other vetted buyers. You walk away with your original equity, the principal you paid down, and your share of appreciation.

Florida statutory roommate rights are honored. One long-term partner can live with you as a roommate at no extra cost. They don't get ownership or voting rights unless they apply to become a co-owner and the house votes them in.

The first Casitas are declared child-free at formation. If you have a child while holding a share, you have twelve months to sell and move out. Child-friendly Casitas, with an operating agreement designed for families, are part of the roadmap.

Casita works with Florida real estate brokers to source multi-bedroom homes that fit the model. Every property is reviewed against a strict standard — price band, layout, HOA rules, and condition — before it goes on the marketplace.

The structure is LLC ownership with proprietary use rights that assign each owner exclusive use of one bedroom — a cooperative-ownership approach with long-standing precedent in the United States. Each Casita is its own Florida LLC, and every operating agreement is reviewed by a Florida real estate attorney before a group closes.

Each Casita home is designated at formation as child-free or family, pet-friendly or pet-free, Airbnb-friendly or strict-occupancy, quiet or social. Those flags are locked into the operating agreement, so you self-select into a house that matches your life.

Only if the house is designated Airbnb-friendly at formation. Otherwise short-term rental of your bedroom isn't allowed.

Bring them through Casita. We'll match you as a known pair and you'll go through the same application and matching process together.

Pet-friendly houses allow pets per the operating agreement. Pet-free houses don't. Choose accordingly.

Once every share in your chosen home is reserved by vetted owners, closing happens as a group, typically within 60 to 90 days.
