We have both types of homes in Laguna Woods Village, but very interestingly, they are many times the same floor plan!  So you can buy a “Casa Linda” home as either a “Condo” or a “Co-op” but what are the differences in ownership?


Good Question!  In Laguna Woods Village, a Co-op is not any easier or harder to sell than a Condo, it appriciates - or in this current market - depriciates - at the same rate as a Condo.  You get the same benefits tax wise from ownership of either a Condo or a Co-op (i.e. - you can write off your mortgage interest and property taxes).  The only difference is in Laguna Woods Village is the fact that you can only rent out a Co-op for 6 months out of the year, and you can rent a Condo year around.  So if you are an investor, you would want to buy a Condo so you could rent it out.  If this was going to be your primary residence, then purchasing a Condo or a Co-op would not be as big an issue. Please see my web site: www.leisureworldre.com to find out more information about our California Senior Community and the homes for sale here.


What exactly is a Co-op?  The full term is ”Stock Cooperative” and they are a lot more popular back east where they have the brown stone buildings, in New York as an example.


The problem came up in the early to mid 19th century, how can we sell the units in a building? The question comes up, well who owns the land underneth the building? So what they did, was come up with an idea where the Corporation buys the building and then each apartment in the building gets stock in the Corporation based on his/ her ownership share.  To make it simple, see the diagram above, if you have 4 apartments in the building, each apartment/ home would get 25% stock in the Corporation (4 x 25% = 100%)


What you actually get when you purchase a Co-op is a Stock Certificate instead of a Deed of Trust.  Rest assured, it is just as valuable as a Deed of Trust and you can even get a loan on them - or do a reverse mortgage!  Just like a Deed of Trust - getting financing is no problem!

In a small space a pop up display normally covers almost the entire back wall of your space.

So you should give some careful consideration and creative thought to the design of your popup display.

Endmills have traditionally been made from high speed steel, but are now mostly made of tungsten carbide, a rigid and wear-resistant material, usually pressed from carbide powder into rods, which are then ground into blanks of industry-standard sizes.

In the early 1990s, use of coatings to reduce wear and friction (among other things) became more common. Most of these coatings are referred to by their chemical composition.

Superior cut tools and end mills for industry.

Making use of Modular Trade Show Displays is a good way to make the best and most creative use of your trade show booth area. For larger booths - larger than a small 10 or 12 foot wide space - trade show booth design must be looked at from a different perspective. To design a larger trade show booth you must think in at least 3 dimensions.

Your display must provide general display values when viewed as a whole, at the same time as creating as many functional display-areas-within-a-display, as space and budget allow. The ideal booth will be strikingly creative, as well as beautifully functional. It will attract visitors by proclaiming your presence and your essential message, while giving you the space and tools to interact with them one-on-one. Modular trade show displays are the perfect way to accomplish this.

When you’re going to a trade show and you have to choose a display, why not set yourself apart from all those other exhibitors with a a display that incorporates multimedia? That’s right! Add audio and video capabilities to your exhibit with a multi-media display system.

When you need to display sales, marketing and merchandising information a portable pop up display is the perfect solution for UK exhibitors. The entire display along with frames and bars fold down into a wheeled transit case (as do the banner and rollups) and they fit easily into a case.
