    Default Tenant in Common

    Has anyone heard of TICs?
    Can you please advise on the areas to be careful about.
    What are your experiences and in particular how do you know that the financial reporting is valid?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sonia

    Tenants in Common is pretty simple - it means that the tenants (from your question I assume the owners) all share the use of the home equally - there is not a section of the home that belongs to one and not the other - it is equal all the way - if you are purchasing a home as tenants in common and a loan is taken out the debt would be on the parties that are on the loan.

    If one party is paying cash and another getting a loan using the home this could be an issue - because if the party getting a loan were to default it puts the home in jeopardy - when I have sold homes with this type of issue each party has paid cash and no one is allowed to encumber the property with a mortgage - then the parties are typically getting second mortgages on their full time residence or a home equity loan on another property.

    Anytime there are multiple owners that are not immediate family I suggest a document that all agree to that outlines the use of the property, and maintenance.

    The laws are different in every state so the best advice you can get would be from someone with knowledge about your area.
