HoneyBricks investors receive dividends from the net rental income of properties after expenses and reserves. These regular cash distributions aim to provide a predictable passive income stream from high-occupancy multifamily real estate investments. The exact amount of dividends may vary with the performance of the assets.
Percent provides returns through interest payments or fixed returns from private credit deals, rather than traditional dividends.
Investors on HoneyBricks can potentially get their money back by selling their shares on the platform's Secondary Market after a 12-month holding period, subject to market demand.
