Becoming a Community Investor*

This blog is the first iteration of what has now become www.OneCommunityGlobal.org, please visit that site for all the most current details on this project. 


Becoming a Community Investor at One Community is a three stage process with three options for investment offering significant benefits over traditional investing. The three stages are Investment Proposal, Investment Approval, and Investment Implementation and the three current investment options are building of structures, business implementation and time share ownership.


As a constantly growing and evolving community, One Community desires to help Community Investors at each step of the investment process. From the building of a structure or business to its maintenance and management, the community is there as a support structure. Agreed upon parameters of support are in place before an investment is actually undertaken so there is no guesswork or surprises. 

The three stage process for investment is in place to help the community determine their role in each investment and make sure that all investments fit with the culture, mission and philosophy of One Community.

Stage One: Investment Proposal
Submit a proposal for your structure or business to the community. Your proposal should include as much detail as possible with suggestions for how we can help you, what you see for the long term of your proposal, and a rough timeline for completion/implementation. 

Stage Two: Investment Approval
Once the Investment Proposal has been submitted and discussed with one or more of the community members to make sure it is as in line with One Community, the proposal is then submitted to the community for consensus approval or modification suggestions. This process continues until everyone is clear on their part in the proposal implementation and consensus is achieved on the proposal as a whole.

Stage Three: Investment Implementation
By this point all details of the proposal will have been fully discussed, evolved and agreed upon and implementation is as simple as moving forward with the agreed upon plan.

Benefits of Investing with One Community: 
We want to help. Any investment in One Community is literally an investment in us as a community and as such we want to help as much as possible. The function of our community is founded on open communication and honesty so there are no hidden agendas or confusion and everyone can discuss their expectations and work together. Tell us exactly what it is you want and we will tell you how that fits in with our model and what resources we can contribute to your success. Working together we hope to produce something significantly greater than any of us could produce alone.

What kind of parameters can I expect when investing with One Community?
One community will consist of 5 pods of concept homes with each pod conforming to a theme. Concept homes are built ecologically with 100% energy self sufficiency and minimal impact on the land. We already have an expert in this type of building so we are looking for two types of investors: investors interested in financing the building of multiple structures as part of a pod for rental/time share use and investors looking to own a structure as members of the community or for use as a vacation property. We have seen pricing for these eco structures as low as $5000. 

Business opportunities are an open field right now and a list of One Community's currently planned income streams can be found here
