Who This Is For

You lead. We build the structure.

You have a property in mind

You found the right place. You want to buy it with others — people you know or marketplace buyers who pass verification. You need the legal structure and operations handled after closing.

You have a vision, not a property

You know the destination and roughly what you want to spend. You need to find the right people first — then the right property. Your group forms publicly on Caim's Join a Group page so others can find you.

The Process

Four steps to your first booking.

01

Define what you're looking for

Tell Caim your destination, budget per share, how many co-owners you want, and whether you have a specific property in mind. One question makes the difference in the process — everything else is the same.

  • Have a property: submit it — Caim reviews and structures it
  • Have a vision: your group is published on Join a Group so others can find you
  • No capital required to start — commit first, close later

Build your group. Everyone verified.

Invite the people you know or let Caim find verified buyers through the marketplace. Every co-owner passes a background, identity, and credit check via Checkr. Marketplace buyers join automatically — no approval needed from you.

  • $49/person background, identity & credit check via Checkr
  • Marketplace buyers auto-join after verification
  • Group locks when all shares are committed

Legal structure, built for your group.

Caim forms the legal entity for your jurisdiction and drafts a custom Operating Agreement for your group. Covers usage, payments, non-payment enforcement, guest policies, and exit rights. All signed digitally by all owners.

  • LLC formation: $495 Caim fee + ~$750 state filing (varies by state)
  • OA drafted for your group's specific configuration
  • All documents signed digitally via DocuSign — from anywhere
