Questions
Here are some of the questions we get most often from our community.
Q. What is Homevest?
Homevest is a platform that allows investors, for as little as $100, to purchase SEC-qualified shares in individual rental homes. Our platform provides an opportunity for investors to invest in real estate without having to purchase an entire property. The traditional process of investing in rental properties is complex and time-consuming, with a steep learning curve and significant time and resources required. Homevest sets out to simplify the process and make it accessible to anyone, with a mission to empower the world to build wealth through modern real estate investing.
Q. What is the minimum investment amount?
The minimum investment amount in this round is $100 USD.
Q. What is fractional investing in real estate?
Fractional investment in real estate allows smaller investors to pool their money via the Homevest platform to buy a percentage of a single-family home. It's easier to understand via an example.
Q. Why would anyone want to own a fraction of a home?
At the core of our business model is to rent out each home to start generating rental revenues immediately. Thus, owning a fraction of a Homevest house entitles you to a fraction of that rental income, not to mention a portion of the capital gains when the home is eventually resold.Investors with Homevest purchase SEC-regulated shares homes that generate rental incomes.
Q. Do I need to be an accredited investor?
No. Homevest allows you to invest without being an accredited investor. All you have to do is sign up and invest.
Q. What is Homevest's Business Model?
We buy single family homes in key target regions and rent them to high quality, vetted renters. We then pass on rental income to our fractional shareholders. If and when the house is sold, we pass along those capital gains as well.
Q. What is a Regulation CF?
Regulation CF enables investors to put money into startups and early-growth companies. Unlike contributing to a company’s Kickstarter campaign, investing in a Regulation CF Offering means you’re purchasing stocks, not products or merchandise. The company has filed a Form C with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Investing in any type of security comes with inherent risks. All investors should thoroughly review the entire Form C, including risk disclosures, before making an investment.
Q. Who is eligible to invest?
The American JOBS Act has opened up new opportunities for entrepreneurs to raise capital and for investors to invest in private, early-stage ventures. Previously, these early-stage investments were restricted to accredited investors, those with a net worth over $1 million or an income exceeding $200,000. While this is an exciting new prospect, there are still limitations on how much a non-accredited investor can invest.
Q. How was the valuation calculated?
We determined the valuation by considering the property value and the potential to provide investors with a reasonable rate of return. Before deciding to invest, you should carefully evaluate this valuation and the factors that contributed to it. Keep in mind that this valuation may not be accurate, and you are encouraged to conduct your own assessment of the property’s value before investing.
