Reason to Invest
In the past, investors often had to buy properties directly if they wanted to invest in real estate. However, direct investment in real estate investment not only needs a larger amount of capital, but also needs to involve in daily property management affairs which could be cumbersome. The investment threshold for this real estate crowdfunding project is relatively low and is managed by a professional team. The cash flow of this project is mainly from rental income which is relatively stable. 100% of our income will be distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends, so investing in this project will enjoy stable cash dividend income every year. Under the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the global market has fallen into turmoil in the first quarter of 2020. But in a broad sense, the US economic environment and the US real estate market is relatively stable under the epidemic. Nonetheless, there are individual owners who increase their cash holdings under the coronavirus and sell their properties at a discounted price. We believe this is an investment opportunity for long-term investors.
