TWINO reveals that it is pleased to share that their first real estate securities project is more than halfway funded.
According to TWINO, this achievement underlines “the potential of short-term rental properties as a popular investment type.” For those who’ve already invested, they thank you for the trust and support. And if you’ve been on the fence, now’s the “perfect time” to dive in, the company claims.
As noted in a blog post, real estate securities enable investors “to easily invest in rental properties – the return is generated from rental income and property appreciation over time.”
Their first project is described as “an exclusive 3-room apartment with a spectacular view of the Old Town Riga & river Daugava in a historic building located in the historic center of Riga.”
As mentioned in another update from TWINO, investments in rental properties now “available on TWINO.”
Recently, the firm launched a new product – Real estate securities (RE Securities). These are equity-based financial instruments “offering investments in short-term rental properties.”
The new product enables private investors to purchase a stock of a company that owns rental assets and works as follows:
- Investors purchase equity shares of a company (set up and managed by TWINO)
- The company further uses the funds to acquire a specific property (specified in the Prospectus)
- The company then generates rental income and profits from property appreciation over time
- Investors (as the shareholders of the company) receive dividends from the company
- To celebrate the launch, they are offering a 5% Cashback bonus on any investment in RE Securities/
The main difference between RE Securities and other real estate investment products already on the market is “that the investor does not lend money for the development of property (debt investment) but acquires ownership of a specific asset (equity investment).”
Similar to shares of listed companies on the stock exchange, profits are “made in the form of dividends, not interest payments.”
The innovation in investment tools “opens up more opportunities for investors from all social and economic backgrounds to invest in asset classes that were previously available to few and were considered niche.”
Their new product provides “the benefits of rental apartment ownership without the high capital requirements, time commitment, and challenges associated with real estate acquisition and management that have traditionally been a barrier to this type of investment from an investor perspective,” according to Helvijs Henšelis, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Management Board of TWINO.
The new product offers you a genuinely passive investment experience as TWINO handles “all aspects of property acquisition, renting, and daily management.”
As stated in a blog post. non-bank lending remains “to be a rising trend in the financial services industry with the global digital lending platform market expected growth to $46.5 billion by 2030.”
The team are excited to “drive this growth by building financial solutions that make it easy and reliable for people to achieve their financial goals and financial independence.”
