Investing in HoneyBricks involves various risks inherent to real estate and investment platforms, including market volatility, liquidity challenges, regulatory changes, operational uncertainties, economic fluctuations, and technology-related vulnerabilities.
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.
HoneyBricks offers a Secondary Market for liquidity, allowing investors to buy and sell assets after a 12-month hold via SPVs and blockchain technology.
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.
HoneyBricks targets over 15% annual returns and aims for a cash-on-cash return of over 5% from its real estate investments. These returns are projections based on conservative reviews and are derived from property appreciation and reliable cash flows from high-occupancy assets.
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.
The investment time horizon on HoneyBricks is inherently long-term, with the expectation that investors may hold their investments for several years to fully realize the potential appreciation and sustained cash flows from multifamily real estate assets. While a secondary market exists to provide liquidity after a 12-month holding period, immediate or short-term exit opportunities may be limited.
Streitwise targets long-term investments, ideally over five years, to avoid early redemption discounts and maximize returns. There's a one-year lockout period, emphasizing the long-term approach.
HoneyBricks is available to accredited US investors and to non-US investors without accreditation requirements.
Streitwise is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors, including international participants, with some investment limits for non-accredited investors to ensure their financial safety. International investors can join with certain conditions and may face delays in processing.
The assets on HoneyBricks, like any real estate investments, are subject to market volatility influenced by economic conditions, interest rates, and local market trends. These fluctuations can impact property valuations, posing risks particularly for those seeking short-term gains.
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.
HoneyBricks adheres to regulations set by the SEC and undergoes necessary audits to ensure transparency and investor protection. Its investment offerings require SEC filings and provide detailed offering circulars to investors.
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. Although not specified, companies under this regulation typically must submit audited financial statements annually, conducted by independent firms, ensuring transparency and compliance.
HoneyBricks ensures its properties are insured against physical damages and losses, offering a layer of protection for investments. However, this insurance does not cover market volatility, economic downturns, or fraudulent activities that might affect property values. Additionally, coverage limits may not fully reflect current market valuations.
Streitwise has not specified the types of insurance it holds for its operations or properties. Typically, real estate investments are covered by property, liability, and business interruption insurance.
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.
Streitwise pays dividends quarterly, about 10 days post-quarter end, offering payment via check, direct bank transfer, or through a dividend reinvestment program.
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. The timing and success of the sale depend on market conditions, and while there are no HoneyBricks fees for the transfer, blockchain network fees may apply.
Investors can request to redeem their Streitwise shares after a one-year lockout period, with redemptions processed quarterly. Early redemptions (before five years) face discounts, while shares held for five years or more are redeemed at 100% NAV. Quarterly redemption limits may delay processing.
HoneyBricks charges no fees for initial investments or for transfers on the Secondary Market. Investors may only incur blockchain network fees for transactions executed on the platform.
Streitwise charges a straightforward 2% annual fee on investments, taken from dividend payments, not the principal. There are no additional or hidden fees, making its fee structure transparent and investor-friendly.
HoneyBricks offers tax-advantaged investing and provides necessary tax documentation to support investors in reporting their investment income.
