The initial members take on more risk by contributing upfront, helping to secure the land and infrastructure. As more people join, the total cost is spread among a larger group, reducing the per-person expense.
Is It Fair That Early Members Paid More?
โ
Early contributors help establish the community and get it running, which comes with greater responsibility.
โ
They often receive additional benefits (e.g., better housing selection, leadership roles, or waived future fees).
โ
The decreasing cost attracts more members, ensuring long-term sustainability and shared financial stability.
โ
Even though later members pay less upfront, they still contribute equally through monthly fees and labor.
