Unique Aspects of Buying a Coop

Buying a coop apartment is an entirely different process than buying a single-family home. The apartments are owned by a cooperative corporation. What you purchase a proportionate share of the cooperative corporation, you are allowed to reside in your coop apartment. No deed is involved even though you may need a home mortgage. Only a stock certificate and a bill of sale are included with the purchase.
