Can't Buy Property?
A New and Revolutionary Model of Housing
by Stina Kerans
Journey through a young explorer’s eyes via her immersion in various cultural circumstances while being the focus of the first ABC television’s travelog series. Observe how her life experiences, along with a social and environmental conscience, shaped a very different perspective on home ownership and security for small investors.
This is not just a story of ideals. Stina’s been a devoted mother, builder, speaker, and successful property developer. Years of group meals and LETS gatherings added to her drive to seek improved life quality, especially for children and the elderly, as well as living situations that reduced financial and environmental costs. Many further trips around the globe morphed her ideas into a specific framework of social sustainability and this detailed new model.
This genuine win-win scenario will also attract investors looking for quality investments that benefit people and the environment. All investors gain more for their dollar because the development profits are distributed to the investors.
The penetrating solutions she has evolved, with others’ help, draws upon yin wisdom and business ventures, plus her few failures. Result—a genuine financial win-win scenario where the environmental impact of urban housing is also mitigated. Development is undertaken by a contracted team, or individual consultants if you wish to manage your own project.
It is a true game changer, and sets the scene for a new collaborative civil society. Affordable housing, and fractional or single property real estate investing, will be obsolete once this concept takes off.
Stina’s book was launched at the Canberra Yacht Club on her 70th birthday, 27th February, 2021. Here are a few photos—click individually to expand. And below the photos are videos of the speeches.
