    The Structure

    Why strata.
    Why debt-free.

    A structure designed for governed, income-producing collective ownership.

    WHY STRATA

    Existing governance. Proportional property interests.

    • Established governance

      Strata legislation, by-laws, owners corporation processes and professional strata management provide a ready-made framework for decisions, maintenance and shared responsibilities.

    • Clear allocation between lots

      Each strata lot has defined unit entitlements and an identifiable interest in the scheme, supporting transparent allocation of shared costs and responsibilities.

    • More manageable duty structuring

      Separate strata lots can have lower individual land values than a whole-site holding. This may assist stake sizing against relevant duty thresholds, subject to valuation, aggregation rules and professional advice.

    WHY DEBT-FREE

    Positive income potential. No lender-driven property risk.

    • Income before finance costs

      Without a property mortgage at the asset level, rental receipts are not first consumed by loan interest or scheduled principal repayments. Property costs and vacancies still apply.

    • No co-investor foreclosure risk

      One owner's personal financial position does not give a property lender mortgage enforcement rights over the shared Ours asset because the property itself is not mortgaged.

    • Simpler collective ownership

      No shared borrowing, serviceability assessments or cross-dependence on another owner meeting property loan obligations.

    Strata provides the governance. Debt-free ownership provides the resilience.
