Real Estate Investment Trusts or in just short REIT have been a reliable capital hedging option for many years now. Essentially buying real estate, renting it out and then sharing dividends between the shareholders. The team behind www.globalreit.io propose a technological shift in the industry with the help of blockchain technology. Here’s what they have to offer!
1. REIT construct taken to a global scale!
While the traditional REIT focuses mostly on local real estate assets, GlobalREIT plans to expand on a global scale, investors and investment wise. With the help of the distributed ledger system and Smart Contracts, individual shareholders can be set in the code that no one can tamper with. Once the project is deployed, the investments will start in Dubai with plans to expand globally.
2. Attractive perks for the token holders
Besides the access to all future Assets under Management, token holders will also have perks like free accommodation every year for it’s most exceptional hospitality acquisitions. Loyalty programs and reward point systems will also be implemented that can be used for a variety of client services. Shareholders will also receive access to the “Fund Management Income” module, an innovative system that’s not offered in the traditional REITs. However, the most critical aspect will be the paid dividends that are going to be distributed on a monthly basis.
3. The GREM and GRET tokens: fuel for company growth!
Based on the ERC20 architecture the base tokens of the platform are GREM and GRET. GREM holders will start off initially with a 2% interest based on the AUM, with a gradually reduce of 0.25% per year until the revenue stabilizes at 1.25%.
For the GRET token, however, holders will receive a stable 8% per annum on the 1st acquired assets. This income class is calculated before any incurred expenses to operations and running costs. Either token that you decide to hold on is going to bring in a steady income regardless of your option.
4. High performance underlying infrastructure based on blockchain technology
While the core of the platform takes advantage of the traditional REIT underpinnings, Global REIT has decided to do things a bit different. The Asset Management Module is built with the help of the Ethereum network to ensure a transparent level of safety for this middle segment of the company. The compliance responsible for Global REIT will perform deep background checks followed by the expected KYC modules with all evaluators before considering the actual listing of any property.
The REIT business model has grown exponentially, in the last years. As of December 2017, a total of 1200 billion are invested into REITs worldwide. Thus any form of technological advancement will find support from the right investors who want to innovate this high profile domain. The token sales for both types start on the 1st of May with the Pre ICO phase that will run until the 31st of May 2018. The price per GREM token is 0.070 USD, and the GRET is set at 1000 USD.
