Kick Jamaica, a real estate crowdfunding platform has announced the launch of their portal with investment opportunities in both New York and Jamaica. Co-founder and CEO Damion Wongsang, realized an online solution could simplify the investment process in real estate. The idea came to him when he was looking to invest in his hometown of Port-Antonio, Jamaica.
“Jamaicans abroad send back USD $2.2 billion a year to build property or assist family members who need financial help…kick Jamaica will allow those who are looking to invest back home simple safe and secure.”
The company adopts a pure digital investment platform, through offering packaged turnkey real estate investments in Jamaica and New York. These are targeted towards investors in the $1-5 million dollar range whom lack access to products in these regions but are seeking a high-quality investment that will provide long-term returns.
There are benefits to clients using the kick Jamaica platform, as customers enjoy not only the convenience of online investments, but also enables them to access features such as project reviews and fund investments via desktop, smartphone or iPad app. Furthermore, kick Jamaica has a team of professionals with combined a 30 years’ experience and USD $2 billion transactions across Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank to name a few. The team provide in-house counsel, accounting and consulting services at no extra cost to the customer.
Kick Jamaica is launching with three key properties in Jamaica and New York, valued at over USD $20 million. This makes it the largest crowdfunding investment platform in Jamaica and the west indies, but also offers investment opportunities for as little as USD $5,000. By doing so, they are able to keep more of their profits instead of watching them get eaten away by the middleman.
