What is cooperative ownership (co-op).
Residents do not directly own the real esate. Instead they buy shares in a corporation which owns the home and land. The corporation gives the share holder the right to occupy a specific property. Residents do not receive a deed to the property.
What is fee simple ownership.
Fee simple is ownership of real estate, by which the owner has the greatest power over the title and unrestricted control over the property. Essentially and subject to local ordinances and zoning regualtions, fee simple ownership extends to the owner the right to use, lease, sell or transfer the property as they see fit.
