Investing Process
Our Prop-tech Hybrid Investing Process offers a unique investment experience, designed to maximize returns while minimizing hassle for investors.
How it works
Each investor becomes a member of the LLC which holds the physical properties that they invest in. As a member, you receive your Equity Shares/Digital Shares corresponding to your investment, representing your fractional ownership in the property portfolio. This structure provides you with the benefits of real estate ownership while maintaining liquidity and ease of management.
The Six-Step Investing Process
1. Perform Due Diligence on Property
We use AI-driven analytic tools to conduct market research and analysis, evaluating factors such as location, property condition, potential for appreciation, rental income projections, and market trends. Our human experts audit the analysis to ensure we are making informed decisions that align with our investment criteria and our investor’s interest.
2. Acquire selected Properties
Once a property passes our rigorous due diligence process, we move swiftly to acquire it. We leverage our industry relationships and negotiation expertise to secure properties at optimal prices. Each property portfolio is structured as LLC. Our LLC structure allows for efficient purchasing, streamlining the acquisition process.
3. Lease and Manage Properties
After acquisition, our property management team takes over. They handle all aspects of property management, including finding and vetting tenants, overseeing maintenance and repairs, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. We maintain transparency and provide regular updates to our investors.
4. Offer Deals & Issue Shares to Investors
We present deals to our network of investors. The ownership is divided into Equity Shares/ or Digital Shares of the LLC, allowing for fractional ownership. Investors can choose to invest in specific property portfolios. Once an investment is made, Equity Shares (or Digital Shares) are issued and recorded in our secured digital ledger, providing instant proof of ownership.
5. Exit at Targeted Optimal ROI
We continuously monitor market conditions and property performance to identify the optimal time to exit each investment. Our goal is to maximize returns for our investors. When the right opportunity arises – whether through market appreciation, value-add improvements, or changes in local market dynamics – we initiate the sale process.
6. Distribute Proceeds back to Investors
Upon successful sale of a property, we distribute the proceeds back to the investors based on their share ownership. Our digital platform allows for quick and transparent distribution of funds. Investors have the option to withdraw their funds or to reinvest their returns into new opportunities within our portfolio, providing a seamless cycle of investment.
Our Investor Benefits
Throughout this process, our investors benefit from:
Security of investing in tangible properties.
Professional management of physical assets.
Diversification opportunities across multiple properties.
Regular updates and transparent reporting through our platform.
The flexibility, liquidity and high upside potential of equity shares /digital shares.
