Investing in Fundhomes carries risks such as potential loss of capital, market fluctuations, and regulatory changes affecting profitability. Investments are generally illiquid with a long-term exit strategy, and early withdrawal may result in penalties. A secondary market to improve liquidity is under consideration but not guaranteed.
Investing in Streitwise involves risks such as market fluctuations affecting real estate values, limited liquidity with a one-year lockout period and potential for delayed redemptions, discounts on early redemption reducing investment value, concentration in specific real estate markets, reliance on management's decision-making, regulatory changes impacting operations, and sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Fundhomes offers liquidity options including automatic share sales when properties are sold (5-10 years), a secondary market for selling shares to other investors, and a buyback program, with potential early sale penalties within the first year.
Streitwise's Redemption Plan offers investors a structured way to sell their shares back to the company, starting after a one-year lockout period. Redemption before five years involves a discount, with full NAV redemption available after five years.
Investors in Fundhomes can expect cash dividends from rental income, projected at a hypothetical rate of 6.62% per year, and property appreciation, estimated at 4.74% per year, upon sale within 5-10 years. This totals a hypothetical annual return of 11.36%.
Streitwise has offered an average annualized dividend yield of 7.3% since 2020. Future dividends depend on factors like tenant quality and maintenance costs, and cannot be guaranteed.

Fundhomes' vacation rental properties face real estate market volatility, with valuations influenced by economic shifts, interest rates, and regulatory changes.
Assets on the Streitwise platform, mainly commercial real estate, typically show lower volatility compared to stocks or cryptocurrencies, due to the slower pace of value changes in real estate. However, factors like economic shifts, interest rate changes, and market conditions can still cause fluctuations, albeit over longer periods.
Fundhomes utilizes Regulation A for public offerings, enabling investors to buy shares in Series LLCs that each own a vacation rental property. This approach grants investors partial ownership in a property, with all details outlined in SEC-filed offering circulars.
Streitwise is regulated under Regulation A+ of the JOBS Act, allowing it to sell securities to both accredited and non-accredited investors with SEC oversight.

Investors in Fundhomes receive quarterly dividends derived from the net rental income of vacation rental properties, after deducting operational expenses. These dividends reflect a portion of the property's profitability but are not guaranteed and can fluctuate based on occupancy rates and market conditions.
Streitwise pays dividends quarterly, about 10 days post-quarter end, offering payment via check, direct bank transfer, or through a dividend reinvestment program.
Investors in Fundhomes can receive their investment back when the property is sold, usually within 5-10 years, or by selling their shares earlier on a secondary market, depending on demand.
