Really super low interest loans to qualified renters if with
that loan they can afford to by a home and then they can
keep what they earn.

Maid Timesharing... probably baked. |

This is sort of like 'Meals on Wheels' services, isn't it? |

This would work but you need alot of "people"
power. Since people are the most expensive part
of the system if you could optimize their time it
could become cost effective. The buy in would be
very much like how the bulk store works. As more
people join, the service can buy things in bulk and
pass the savings on to the subscribers. But again
this service would require alot of people power.
Take the groccier service alone : |

Someone has to purchase the goods at appropriate
time and place, deliver it correctly and ensure
quality service. That's not an in-expensive proposal. |

By definition the cost of running the washer or dryer would have to included in the cost of the service, as would the depreciation on those appliances. There probably would be some cost savings in having a single large refrigerator, but if the houses still had individual small fridges, that would offset a lot. |

From my experience the branded home services
industry is broken and unfixable. Any time you go
for a branded company with a marketing campaign
and a dedicated call centre. You will be paying
a company double what you will want to pay, and
then they will essentially subcontract it to some
kids for 25-30% of the profit. Its probably
better to just hire some reliable, qualified, and
insured individual off craigslist. |
