I moved to Seattle in 2016 at the height of Amazonian fever and since then I have leased and managed a myriad of assets. From luxury single family homes in Fremont, Ballard, Queen Anne and Madison Park to high rise affordable housing in the notorious Pioneer Square. I worked closely with the renter and I know what they want. It's really a very simple formula: stability that does not break the bank. However, given the economics even the most prosperous of tenants cannot always achieve this goal. And as the caretaker to multifamily housing I can honestly say it's getting harder and hard to provide that sense stability from an operator’s perspective. What is missing is a certain stake tenants lack in the enterprise which provides a pride of ownership and responsibility to their investment. It's not all about money, its about psychologically knowing that you will get your money’s worth and that the value of that money will increase as time goes on. Because of that, I believe tackling affordable homeownership will be interregnal to modeling how other affordable housing innovators solve this existential problem of our time. Re|Space is a solution and a start. It's the best of both worlds filling an economic hole while providing a human good - that is equity in shelter for those who many not otherwise have been able to obtain.","investment_total":50000,"investment_info":"Invested $50,000 this round","is_lead_investor":true,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/aryn.norton"]}],"investor_memos":[],"tab_counts":{"posts":0,"ask_questions":2,"featured_investors":2,"faq_entries":1},"active_fundraises":[{"id":101860,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:101860","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"ttw","security_type":"","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":true,"min_purchase":500,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":1235000.0,"minimum_target":"50000.0","maximum_target":"1235000.0"},{"id":101859,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:101859","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","funding_type":"note","structure":"convertible_note","security_type":"debt","currency":"USD","testing_the_waters":false,"min_purchase":500,"max_purchase":9,"funding_target":50000.0,"minimum_target":"50000.0","maximum_target":"1235000.0","funding_started_at":"2023-12-22T21:02:52Z","funding_closed_at":"2025-01-16T05:00:04Z","auto_close_at":"2025-01-16T04:59:59Z"}],"latest_fundraise":{"id":101860,"entity_id":"wefunder:fundraise:101860","state":"successful","offering_type":"4(a)(6)","structure":"ttw","testing_the_waters":true,"can_invest_now":false,"funding_started_at":null,"funding_closed_at":null,"terms":{"eb":"$9M","nb":"$10M","txt":"valuation cap"}},"recent_posts":[],"q_and_a":[{"id":275518,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:275518","question":"Hi there, a) What is your most recent monthly burn rate? b) What is your most recent monthly cash on hand? c) Are you raising a parallel angel or VC round simultaneously?
