Are there legal barriers to renting property you own only to people in your ingroup? I feel like there must be, especially in California.
Also I second the housing co-op idea, there are a bunch of them here and they seem to work pretty well for the people who live there.
A possibly useful hack for this is kickstarter/tinder type thing, where people can propose buildings, and people announce how much money they would be willing to pay to own what percentage of, a specific place on the market where the next step is only triggered if enough people sign up with a sufficient amount of money that it’s worth actually looking into pooling money and purchasing it.
I don’t know about California, but here in Michigan at least I believe it is legal so long as the building is a “shared dwelling space”. If it consists of separate apartments, then no you’re not allowed to discriminate like that. (Note: Not a lawyer, there may be subtleties I’m missing. Just stating this as a potentially useful starting point.)
