SLIDE 1: Cover

HomeStat Capital

Democratizing Affordable Housing Investment Through Blockchain Technology

Fund I Target Raise: $100 Million

SLIDE 2: The Problem - America's Affordable Housing Crisis

By the Numbers

  • 7.2 million shortage of affordable rental homes in the US
  • 10.8 million extremely low-income households paying >50% of income on rent
  • $5-20M financing gap prevents most affordable projects from breaking ground
  • 30% of development timelines lost to funding delays

The Gap

Traditional affordable housing faces a critical "equity gap" - the 10-20% of project costs that can't be financed through conventional means (bank loans, tax credits, government subsidies). Without this seed capital, projects never start.

πŸ“˜ HomeStat Capital - Technical Whitepaper

Tokenized Affordable Housing Development Finance | Version 1.0 | October 2025

Abstract

HomeStat Capital introduces a novel approach to affordable housing finance by combining institutional real estate investment strategies with blockchain technology. This whitepaper details the technical architecture, economic model, and operational framework for a $100 million tokenized investment fund that provides gap financing for affordable housing developments across the United States.

The fund addresses a critical market failure: the 10-20% equity gap that prevents affordable housing projects from accessing traditional construction financing. By tokenizing fund ownership and leveraging smart contracts for administration, HomeStat democratizes access to this asset class while maintaining institutional-grade compliance and risk management.

Key Innovations

  • ERC-3643 compliant security tokens enabling fractional ownership
  • Smart contract automation of fund operations and distributions
  • $1,000 minimum investment (vs. $250K+ for traditional funds)
  • Real-time transparency and on-chain reporting
  • Target returns of 8-12% IRR with measurable social impact

1. Introduction

1.1 Problem Statement

The United States faces an acute affordable housing crisis. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, there is a shortage of 7.2 million affordable rental homes for the nation's 10.8 million extremely low-income families. This crisis is not due to lack of housing demand or shortage of development expertise, but rather a systemic financing gap.

The Development Finance Gap

Affordable housing projects typically require multiple financing sources:

  • Bank construction loans (45-55% of costs)
  • Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity (30-35%)
  • Government subsidies and soft loans (5-10%)
  • Developer equity and gap financing (10-20%)

The final 10-20% represents the "gap" that is difficult to fill. Traditional institutional investors require minimum investments of $250,000-$1,000,000, excluding most individual investors. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are under-capitalized and cannot meet demand. This gap prevents projects from breaking ground, leaving sites undeveloped and communities underserved.

1.2 Our Solution

HomeStat Capital deploys blockchain technology to solve three critical problems:

1. Capital Access
Tokenization enables fractional ownership starting at $1,000, expanding the investor base from thousands to potentially millions of impact-conscious individuals globally.

2. Operational Efficiency
Smart contracts automate fund administration, reducing overhead costs by approximately 70% compared to traditional fund structures, allowing more capital to flow to projects.

3. Transparency & Trust
All fund transactions, NAV calculations, and impact metrics are published on-chain, creating unprecedented transparency for investors and stakeholders.

2. Market Analysis

2.1 Affordable Housing Market

Demand Fundamentals

The affordable housing shortage is driven by:

  • Wage stagnation: Median renter income has grown 5% since 2001, while rents increased 20%
  • Supply constraints: Zoning restrictions, NIMBY opposition, rising construction costs
  • Policy gaps: Federal housing voucher funding covers only 25% of eligible households

Market Size

  • Annual US affordable housing need: $500+ billion
  • Gap financing component: $100-150 billion annually
  • HomeStat addressable market (0.1% share): $100-150 million annually per fund

2.2 Competitive Landscape

Traditional Players

Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs)

  • Strengths: Mission-aligned, experienced, trusted by communities
  • Weaknesses: Under-capitalized, cannot scale, limited transparency

10-Year Co-Investment Profit per Founder: $2.5M - $5M

5. Management Company Equity Value (The Big Win)

Understanding the Value

The management company itself becomes extremely valuable as the platform grows. This is where founders build the most significant wealth.

Valuation Methodology

Asset management companies are typically valued at 5-15x annual revenue or 8-20x EBITDA:

Metric Year 5 Year 7 Year 10
Assets Under Management$100M$400M$1B
Annual Management Fees$2M$8M$20M
Annual Carry (avg)$500K$4M$10M
Total Revenue$2.5M$12M$30M
EBITDA (30% margin)$750K$3.6M$9M
Valuation (8-12x EBITDA)$6M-$9M$29M-$43M$72M-$108M
Per Founder (50% each)$3M-$4.5M$14.5M-$21.5M$36M-$54M

Enhanced Valuation with Technology Premium

If HomeStat's blockchain platform becomes licensable to other funds, valuation multiples could increase to 15-20x:

Scenario Year 10 Valuation Per Founder
Traditional Fund (10x)$90M$45M
Platform Play (15x)$135M$67.5M
Tech Premium (20x)$180M$90M

Exit Strategies

Option A: Strategic Acquisition (Most Common)

Sell management company to larger real estate PE firm, bank, or fintech:

  • Timeline: Years 7-10
  • Typical Multiple: 10-15x EBITDA
  • Year 10 Exit Value: $90M - $162M
  • Per Founder: $45M - $81M

Option B: IPO (Ambitious Path)

Take management company public:

  • Requirements: $5B+ AUM, consistent profitability
  • Timeline: Years 10-15
  • Public Market Multiple: 12-20x EBITDA
  • Potential Value: $200M - $500M
  • Per Founder (after dilution): $50M - $150M

Option C: Recapitalization

Take some chips off the table while maintaining control:

  • Timeline: Year 5-7
  • Sell 30-40% to PE firm
  • Cash Out: $10M - $20M per founder
  • Retain: 60-70% ownership for future upside

Opportunity 10-Year Potential Risk Level Time to Liquidity
HomeStat (Base Case)$50M-$100MMedium7-10 years
Tech Startup$0-$500M+Very High7-10 years
Traditional RE Dev$10M-$50MHigh5-10 years
Corporate Executive$5M-$15MLowOngoing
Traditional Fund Manager$20M-$100MMedium7-10 years

Key Takeaways

πŸ’‘ The Path to $100M

  1. Years 1-3: Live on salary ($250K-300K), build track record
  2. Years 4-5: First carry from Fund I exits ($500K-1M)
  3. Years 6-8: Scale to multiple funds, meaningful cash flow ($2M-5M annually)
  4. Years 9-10: Management company worth $80M-$225M, exit opportunity

Critical Success Factors

  • βœ… Performance: Deliver 8-12% IRR consistently
  • βœ… Scale: Raise Fund II, III, IV (grow AUM to $1B+)
  • βœ… Platform: Build defensible technology moat
  • βœ… Team: Attract and retain top talent
  • βœ… Reputation: Become the go-to name in affordable housing + crypto

Risk-Adjusted Realistic Expectation

Most Likely Outcome: $50M - $100M per founder over 10 years

This assumes:

  • Base case performance (8-10% IRR)
  • Successful launch of 2-3 additional funds
  • Exit or significant company value event by year 10
  • No major market disruptions or regulatory changes

πŸͺ™ How Cryptocurrency & Tokens Work in HomeStat Capital

A complete guide to understanding the blockchain technology behind HomeStat

πŸ’‘ No Crypto Experience Required: This guide explains everything from scratch. You don't need any prior cryptocurrency knowledge to invest in HomeStat Capital.

The Simple Answer

HomeStat tokens are like digital stock certificates. Instead of receiving a paper certificate when you invest, you receive a digital token that lives on the blockchain (a secure digital ledger). This token proves you own a piece of the fund and entitles you to your share of profits.

Think of it like this:

  • Traditional stock: Paper certificate (or electronic record) held by a broker
  • HomeStat token: Digital certificate held in your secure digital wallet

Both represent ownership. Both pay dividends. The blockchain version just uses newer technology that's more transparent and efficient.

What Exactly Is a Token?

Definition

A token is a digital asset that represents ownership or rights. In HomeStat's case, each token represents:

  • $10 of invested capital in the fund
  • Your proportional share of the fund's profits
  • Your right to receive quarterly distributions
  • Your voting rights (for Series A and B tokens)

How It Works

When you invest $10,000, you receive 1,000 tokens. These tokens are:

  • Unique: Each token has a digital fingerprint proving it's yours
  • Transferable: You can sell them to someone else (after lock-up period)
  • Programmable: They automatically receive distributions via smart contracts
  • Transparent: You can verify your ownership on the blockchain at any time

Visual Example

Your Investment Journey

You invest:      $10,000
                     ↓
You receive:     1,000 HCC tokens
                     ↓
Token value:     $10.00 per token (initially)
                     ↓
Year 3:          Fund makes money, distributes profits
                     ↓
You receive:     $800 (0.80 per token Γ— 1,000 tokens)
                     ↓
Year 5:          More profits distributed
                     ↓
Token value:     $12.50 per token
Your holding:    1,000 tokens = $12,500 value
                     ↓
Total return:    $2,500 profit + distributions received

What Is the Blockchain?

Simple Explanation

The blockchain is a digital ledger (like a spreadsheet) that tracks who owns what. It's called "blockchain" because information is stored in "blocks" that are "chained" together.

Key Features

Feature What It Means Why It Matters
Transparent Everyone can see all transactions You can verify fund operations anytime
Immutable Records can't be changed or deleted No one can alter your ownership or history
Decentralized No single company controls it Not dependent on any one institution
Programmable Can automate actions with code Distributions happen automatically

Which Blockchain Does HomeStat Use?

HomeStat uses Ethereum, the most established blockchain for financial applications. Think of Ethereum as:

  • The Internet: A global network everyone can access
  • Apps run on it: Just like websites run on the internet, our smart contracts run on Ethereum
  • Proven & Secure: Used by major institutions including JP Morgan, Microsoft, and governments

Token Standards: ERC-3643 Explained

What Are Token Standards?

Token standards are like building codes - they ensure tokens work consistently and securely. HomeStat uses ERC-3643, specifically designed for security tokens (tokenized securities).

ERC-3643 Features

Built-in Compliance

  • Transfer Restrictions: Only verified, accredited investors can receive tokens
  • Identity Verification: Tokens are linked to verified identities (KYC/AML)
  • Jurisdiction Limits: Can restrict transfers based on country regulations
  • Lock-up Periods: Automatically enforces 12-month lock-ups

Investor Protection

  • Forced Transfer: Can recover tokens if you lose access to your wallet
  • Pausable: Can freeze transfers in emergencies
  • Upgradeable: Can fix bugs or add features without losing ownership records

Why Not Just Use Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency (digital money). HomeStat tokens are security tokens (digital ownership). Key differences:

Feature Bitcoin HomeStat Token
Purpose Currency / Store of value Ownership in real estate fund
Backed By Nothing (like gold) Physical real estate assets
Dividends No Yes, quarterly distributions
Regulated As commodity As security (SEC oversight)
Who Can Buy Anyone Accredited investors only

How Smart Contracts Work

What Is a Smart Contract?

A smart contract is computer code that automatically executes when conditions are met. Think of it like a vending machine:

Traditional Contract:

"If you deposit $1.50, I'll give you a soda."
Requires trust in both parties to fulfill their obligations.

Smart Contract (Vending Machine):

"IF $1.50 deposited, THEN dispense soda."
Happens automatically. No trust needed.

HomeStat's Smart Contracts

HomeStat uses 7 interconnected smart contracts that automate fund operations:

1. Token Contract

What it does: Manages token ownership and transfers

Example:

IF transfer requested:
  CHECK: Is sender verified? βœ“
  CHECK: Is recipient accredited? βœ“
  CHECK: Is lock-up expired? βœ“
  IF all checks pass:
    EXECUTE transfer
  ELSE:
    REJECT transfer

2. Distribution Contract

What it does: Calculates and pays quarterly distributions

Example:

Quarter end date arrives:
  CALCULATE each holder's share:
    - You own: 1,000 tokens
    - Total tokens: 10,000,000
    - Your share: 0.01%
    - Total distribution: $8,000,000
    - Your payment: $8,000,000 Γ— 0.01% = $800
  SEND $800 in USDC to your wallet
  AUTOMATICALLY, no human intervention needed

3. Governance Contract

What it does: Manages voting on fund decisions

Example:

Proposal: "Should we increase management fee to 2.5%?"
  Voting period: 7 days
  Your vote: NO (1,000 tokens)
  
After 7 days:
  COUNT votes:
    YES: 2,500,000 tokens
    NO: 6,500,000 tokens
  RESULT: Proposal REJECTED (needs 66% to pass)
  NO ACTION taken

4. Treasury Contract

What it does: Secures fund assets with multi-signature protection

Example:

Fund wants to deploy $8M to a project:
  CEO approves: βœ“ (1 of 3 needed)
  CIO approves: βœ“ (2 of 3 needed)
  CFO approves: βœ“ (3 of 3 needed)
  
  WAIT 48 hours (safety delay)
  
  THEN: Transfer $8M to project
  
If hacker tries to steal:
  Hacker has 0 signatures
  REJECTED automatically

What Is USDC (Stablecoin)?

Definition

USDC (USD Coin) is a stablecoin - a cryptocurrency that's always worth $1.00. It's like digital dollars.

How It Works

  • 1 USDC = $1.00 USD (always, by design)
  • Backed by real dollars: Circle (the company) holds $1 in a bank account for every USDC
  • Audited monthly: Independent auditors verify the backing
  • Redeemable: You can always exchange USDC for real USD

Why HomeStat Uses USDC

Benefit Explanation
No Volatility Unlike Bitcoin ($20K-$60K swings), USDC is always $1.00
Fast Transfers Send $1M in minutes vs. days with wire transfers
Lower Costs $1-5 per transaction vs. $25-50 wire transfer fees
24/7 Operations Works weekends and holidays, unlike banks
Programmable Can automate payments with smart contracts

Your Options

You can choose how you want to interact with HomeStat:

  • Option A - Full Crypto: Invest with USDC, receive distributions in USDC
  • Option B - Hybrid: Invest with USD wire, receive distributions in USDC
  • Option C - No Crypto: Invest with USD wire, receive distributions via ACH to bank account

Step-by-Step: How Your Investment Works

Step 1: Investment (Day 1)

You do:

  1. Complete KYC verification (upload ID)
  2. Sign investment documents electronically
  3. Send $10,000 via wire transfer or USDC

Smart contract does:

RECEIVE: $10,000 from your bank
VERIFY: KYC approved βœ“
VERIFY: Documents signed βœ“
MINT: 1,000 new HCC tokens
SEND: 1,000 tokens to your wallet
RECORD: On blockchain forever

Step 2: Token Custody (Ongoing)

Where are your tokens?

Your 1,000 tokens live in your digital wallet. Think of it like:

  • Traditional: Stock certificates in a safe deposit box
  • Digital: Tokens in your encrypted digital wallet

You can verify ownership anytime:

Visit Etherscan.io β†’ Search your wallet address β†’ See your 1,000 HCC tokens

This is like checking your brokerage account, but completely transparent and public.

Step 3: Quarterly Distribution (Year 3, Q1)

What happens automatically:

March 31 arrives (quarter end):

SMART CONTRACT EXECUTES:
1. Calculate total distribution: $8,000,000
2. Calculate your share:
   - You own: 1,000 tokens
   - Total supply: 10,000,000 tokens
   - Your %: 0.01%
   - Your payment: $800

3. CHECK your preference: USDC or USD?
   - You selected: USDC

4. SEND 800 USDC to your wallet

5. RECORD transaction on blockchain

6. EMAIL you confirmation

Total time: 2 minutes, completely automated

You do:

Nothing! The $800 just appears in your wallet. You can:

  • Keep it in USDC (like keeping cash in wallet)
  • Convert to USD and transfer to bank (via Coinbase, takes 1 day)
  • Reinvest it elsewhere

Step 4: Token Value Appreciation (Year 5)

NAV increases as fund makes money:

Date NAV per Token Your 1,000 Tokens Worth
Year 1 (Start) $10.00 $10,000
Year 3 $10.80 $10,800
Year 5 $12.50 $12,500

Why does value increase?

  • Fund invests in projects
  • Projects generate returns
  • Returns increase fund assets
  • More assets = higher NAV per token

Step 5: Selling Tokens (After 12-month lock-up)

If you want to exit early:

Option A: Secondary Market (Preferred)

Visit tZERO exchange:
1. LIST your 1,000 tokens for sale
2. SET your price: $12.00 per token
   (current NAV is $12.50, so small discount)
3. WAIT for buyer
4. BUYER found: Wants 500 tokens
5. SMART CONTRACT executes:
   - Transfer 500 tokens to buyer
   - Transfer $6,000 USDC to you
   - Update blockchain records
6. DONE - you now have 500 tokens + $6,000 cash

Option B: Hold Until Fund Liquidation

Most investors hold until Year 7 when fund liquidates and returns all capital + profits.

Security & Safety

How Your Tokens Are Protected

1. Smart Contract Security

  • Audited by experts: CertiK and Trail of Bits reviewed all code
  • Bug bounty: $500K reward for finding vulnerabilities
  • Battle-tested: Using proven standards (ERC-3643, OpenZeppelin)
  • Insurance: $10M coverage for smart contract exploits

2. Multi-Signature Protection

Fund assets require 3 of 5 signatures to move:

  • CEO signature
  • CIO signature
  • CFO signature
  • External auditor signature
  • Legal counsel signature

Result: Impossible for one person (or hacker) to steal funds

3. Wallet Security

Your Options:

Option Security Level Best For
Hardware Wallet
(Ledger, Trezor)
Highest ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Large investments ($100K+)
Software Wallet
(MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet)
High ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most investors ($10K-$100K)
Custodial Service
(HomeStat holds for you)
High ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Non-technical investors

What Could Go Wrong?

Scenario 1: You Lose Your Wallet Password

Problem: Forgot password, can't access tokens

Solution: HomeStat has "forced transfer" capability. With proper identity verification, we can transfer your tokens to a new wallet you control.

Scenario 2: Smart Contract Bug

Problem: Bug discovered in smart contract code

Solution: Contracts are upgradeable. We can deploy fixed version without losing any data. Plus $10M insurance covers losses.

Scenario 3: Exchange Hack

Problem: tZERO exchange gets hacked

Solution: Your tokens aren't stored on the exchange. They're in your wallet. Exchange only facilitates trades. Even if exchange goes down, you still own your tokens.

Scenario 4: Ethereum Network Issues

Problem: Ethereum network has problems

Solution: Underlying real estate assets unaffected. Can operate fund traditionally if needed. Blockchain is just the record-keeping layer.

Practical Comparison: Traditional vs. Tokenized

Common Questions

Do I need to understand crypto to invest?

No. HomeStat handles all the technical complexity. You can invest and receive distributions in regular USD. Think of blockchain like email - you don't need to understand SMTP protocol to send emails.

Is this legal?

Yes. HomeStat tokens are SEC-registered securities under Regulation D. We comply with all securities laws. The blockchain is just the technology layer - the legal structure is traditional.

What happens if blockchain technology becomes obsolete?

The underlying real estate assets remain. Blockchain is just the record-keeping system. If needed, we can revert to traditional fund administration. Your ownership is protected legally, not just technologically.

Can the government seize my tokens?

With proper legal authority, yes (same as traditional assets). Court orders, tax liens, and legal judgments can result in forced transfers. This is no different than traditional securities. The blockchain doesn't make assets immune to law.

Do I pay taxes on tokens?

Yes, same as traditional investments. You pay taxes on:

  • Distributions received (ordinary income)
  • Capital gains when selling tokens (capital gains tax)
  • You'll receive K-1 forms just like a traditional fund

The IRS treats HomeStat tokens as securities, not cryptocurrency, so standard securities tax rules apply.

1/8 🧡 We're launching HomeStat Capital - the first tokenized fund focused exclusively on affordable housing gap financing. Here's why this matters:

2/8 The US has a 7.2M shortage of affordable homes. Not because we lack developers or demand, but because of a systematic financing gap.

3/8 Affordable housing projects need multiple funding sources: bank loans (50%), tax credits (30%), subsidies (10%), and gap equity (10-20%). That last piece is nearly impossible to get.

4/8 Traditional institutional investors require $250K+ minimums. CDFIs are under-capitalized. Projects sit waiting for that 10-20% - and never break ground.

5/8 HomeStat solves this with blockchain: $1,000 minimums, automated compliance, transparent reporting, and global capital access. We provide the $5-20M that gets projects started.

6/8 Target returns: 8-12% IRR. Real assets, government-backed, counter-cyclical demand. Plus measurable impact: 1,228 units, 3,000 families housed, $36M in rent savings.

7/8 We're not just building a fund - we're creating infrastructure for the entire affordable housing ecosystem. Smart contracts, tokenization, impact tracking. All open for others to use.

8/8 If you believe housing is a right and that markets can solve social problems - let's talk. homestat.com

Blog Post / Thought Leadership

Why Blockchain is the Key to Solving the Affordable Housing Crisis

By Sarah Chen, CEO, HomeStat Capital

America's affordable housing crisis isn't a problem of supply, demand, or expertise. It's a problem of capital access.

Over the past decade, I've worked on over $2 billion in affordable housing transactions at JP Morgan Community Development. I've seen hundreds of excellent projects with experienced developers, strong market demand, and community support - all held up by the same issue: a 10-20% equity gap.

The Traditional Model is Broken

Affordable housing projects typically need multiple financing sources to reach 100% of development costs. Banks provide 45-55% through construction loans. Tax credit investors cover 30-35% through LIHTC equity. Government subsidies add another 5-10%. But that leaves 10-20% that's nearly impossible to fill.

Traditional institutional investors require $250,000+ minimums and lengthy due diligence processes. Community Development Financial Institutions are under-capitalized and oversubscribed. Family offices want full project control. The gap remains.

Blockchain Changes Everything

Blockchain technology - specifically security token infrastructure - solves three critical problems:

1. Democratized Access
Tokenization enables fractional ownership starting at $1,000. Instead of needing 400 investors at $250K each for a $100M fund, we can access 100,000 investors at $1K each. This dramatically expands the capital pool.

2. Operational Efficiency
Smart contracts automate compliance, distributions, and reporting. This reduces fund administration costs by approximately 70%, allowing more capital to flow to projects and reducing fees for investors.

3. Transparency & Trust
All fund transactions, NAV calculations, and impact metrics published on-chain. Investors can verify holdings in real-time. Communities can track projects and outcomes. This builds trust and accountability.

Real Impact, Real Returns

This isn't charity. Affordable housing provides attractive risk-adjusted returns:

  • Counter-cyclical demand (housing need increases during downturns)
  • Government backing (tax credits, subsidies, loan guarantees)
  • Real asset collateral (land and buildings)
  • Predictable cash flows (long-term leases with steady rent payments)

Our target of 8-12% IRR is competitive with traditional real estate while generating measurable social impact.

Building Infrastructure, Not Just a Fund

At HomeStat Capital, we're not just launching one fund. We're building the infrastructure layer for the entire affordable housing ecosystem. Our smart contracts, tokenization platform, and impact tracking systems will be available for other funds, CDFIs, and developers to use.

If we truly want to solve the affordable housing crisis, we need to make it easy for capital to flow to projects. Blockchain gives us that capability.

The technology is ready. The need is urgent. The opportunity is massive.

Let's build.

Sarah Chen is the CEO and Co-Founder of HomeStat Capital, a $100M tokenized investment fund focused on affordable housing. Previously, she led JP Morgan's affordable housing division and structured over $2 billion in LIHTC transactions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Common questions about HomeStat Capital and the investment opportunity

General Questions

What is HomeStat Capital?

HomeStat Capital is a $100 million tokenized investment fund that provides gap financing for affordable housing developments across the United States. We bridge the critical 10-20% equity gap that prevents affordable housing projects from securing construction financing and breaking ground.

Why does the affordable housing gap financing problem exist?

Affordable housing projects typically need multiple funding sources: bank construction loans (45-55%), LIHTC tax credit equity (30-35%), government subsidies (5-10%), and developer equity (10-20%). That final 10-20% is extremely difficult to secure because traditional institutional investors require $250K+ minimums and long due diligence processes, while CDFIs are under-capitalized. This gap prevents otherwise viable projects from moving forward.

How does HomeStat solve this problem?

We use blockchain technology to democratize access to affordable housing investment. Through tokenization, we enable fractional ownership starting at $1,000, dramatically expanding the investor base. Smart contracts automate compliance and reduce administrative costs by 70%, allowing more capital to flow directly to projects.

Investment Questions

Who can invest in HomeStat Capital?

Currently, HomeStat Capital Fund I is available to accredited investors only under Regulation D 506(c). An accredited investor is someone with:

  • Annual income of $200,000+ (individual) or $300,000+ (joint) for the past 2 years, OR
  • Net worth exceeding $1 million (excluding primary residence), OR
  • Professional certifications (Series 7, 65, or 82 licenses)

International investors can participate through Regulation S offerings.

What is the minimum investment?

The minimum investment is $10,000 (1,000 tokens at $10 per token). This is significantly lower than traditional real estate funds which typically require $250,000-$1,000,000 minimums.

What are the expected returns?

We target 8-12% Net IRR (after fees) with a 1.25x-1.45x multiple on invested capital (MOIC) over the 7-year fund life. Returns come from multiple sources:

  • Interest income on development and bridge loans (6-8%)
  • Equity appreciation from project exits (35-45% over 3-4 years)
  • Rental income during hold periods
  • Developer and syndication fees

When will I receive distributions?

Distributions are paid quarterly starting in Year 3. The distribution schedule follows a typical real estate fund pattern:

  • Years 1-2: No distributions (capital deployment phase)
  • Year 3: 8% yield on cost as first projects exit
  • Year 4: 18% yield on cost as more projects stabilize
  • Year 5: 28% yield on cost as portfolio matures
  • Years 6-7: Final liquidations and distributions

What are the fees?

HomeStat Capital charges standard institutional fund fees:

  • Management Fee: 2% annually on committed capital ($2M per year on $100M fund)
  • Carried Interest: 20% of profits above an 8% IRR preferred return
  • Organizational Costs: 3% of raise (one-time, capped at $3M)

The waterfall structure ensures the GP only profits when investors achieve their target returns.

Can I sell my tokens before the fund liquidates?

Yes, after a 12-month lock-up period, tokens can be traded on regulated security token exchanges including tZERO and INX. However, secondary market liquidity may be limited, especially in early years. Investors should be prepared to hold their investment for the full fund term if necessary.

How do I receive my distributions?

Distributions are paid quarterly in USDC stablecoin (cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar) or via USD bank transfer, based on your preference. Payments are automated through smart contracts and credited directly to your wallet or account.

What currency do I invest in?

You can invest using US dollars (via wire transfer or ACH) or USDC stablecoin. All amounts are denominated in USD.

Technology & Blockchain Questions

Why use blockchain for a real estate fund?

Blockchain provides three key advantages:

  • Democratization: Fractional ownership enables $1,000 minimums vs. $250K+ traditional
  • Efficiency: Smart contracts reduce administration costs by ~70%
  • Transparency: All transactions, NAV, and impact metrics visible on-chain in real-time

What is a security token?

A security token is a digital asset that represents ownership in a real-world asset (in our case, a real estate fund). Unlike cryptocurrencies, security tokens are regulated by securities laws and offer legal rights to dividends, voting, and ownership. HomeStat uses the ERC-3643 standard which has built-in compliance features.

Do I need to understand cryptocurrency to invest?

No. While HomeStat uses blockchain infrastructure, you don't need any crypto knowledge to invest. Our platform handles all technical complexity. You can invest with traditional USD and receive distributions in USD if you prefer. We provide step-by-step guidance through the entire process.

Is my investment secure?

Yes. HomeStat employs institutional-grade security measures:

  • Smart contracts audited by CertiK and Trail of Bits
  • Multi-signature treasury requiring 3-of-5 approvals for large transactions
  • $10 million insurance coverage for smart contract exploits
  • Hardware wallets for key storage
  • Continuous monitoring and threat detection

Importantly, your investment is backed by real physical assets (land and buildings), not just code.

What happens if there's a hack or technical failure?

We have multiple safeguards: comprehensive insurance ($10M coverage), multi-sig security requiring multiple parties to approve transactions, circuit breakers that can pause the system, and the ability to revert to traditional fund administration if necessary. The underlying real estate assets remain unaffected by any technical issues with the blockchain layer.

Fund Strategy & Portfolio Questions

What types of projects does HomeStat invest in?

We invest in affordable housing developments that meet strict criteria:

  • 75-150 units (optimal scale for efficiency)
  • 80%+ units affordable (serving 50-80% AMI households)
  • New construction or substantial rehabilitation
  • Experienced developers with 500+ units completed
  • Shovel-ready or under construction
  • Minimum 15-year affordability restriction
  • Located in high-growth markets with strong job growth

How many projects will the fund invest in?

Fund I will invest in 10-15 projects across 10 states, deploying $88 million of the $100 million raised. Each project will receive $5-20 million depending on size and capital needs. This provides good diversification while maintaining meaningful position sizes.

What geographic markets do you focus on?

We focus on high-growth Sunbelt and secondary markets with:

  • Strong job growth (>2% annually)
  • Low affordable housing vacancy (<5%)
  • Pro-development local governments
  • Access to public transit
  • Demographic demand (families, seniors, workforce housing)

Current pipeline includes projects in Phoenix, Atlanta, Denver, Portland, Charlotte, Nashville, Indianapolis, Raleigh, Las Vegas, and San Antonio.

How long does the fund hold each investment?

Average hold period is 3.5 years per project. The typical lifecycle is:

  • Months 0-6: Pre-development and permitting
  • Months 6-24: Construction
  • Months 24-36: Lease-up and stabilization
  • Months 36-48: Operate at stabilized occupancy
  • Month 48+: Refinance or sell, return capital to fund

How do you exit investments?

We have three primary exit strategies:

  • Refinance (70% of exits): Once stabilized, replace construction debt with permanent financing and cash out equity
  • Sale (25% of exits): Sell to nonprofit, REIT, or institutional buyer
  • Hold (5%): Retain for long-term cash flow and exit in years 6-7

Risk Questions

What are the main risks?

Real estate development carries inherent risks:

  • Construction risks: Delays, cost overruns, contractor default
  • Market risks: Real estate downturns, reduced exit values
  • Interest rate risks: Rising rates increase project costs
  • Regulatory risks: Changes to housing policy or tax credits
  • Technology risks: Smart contract vulnerabilities, low secondary liquidity

See our full risk disclosure in the Private Placement Memorandum for complete details.

How do you mitigate these risks?

We employ comprehensive risk management:

  • 15% contingency reserves in all project budgets
  • Only work with experienced developers (10+ years, 500+ units)
  • Require developer co-investment (5-10% of equity)
  • Geographic diversification across 10 states
  • Fixed-price construction contracts with completion guarantees
  • Multiple audits and insurance for smart contracts
  • Maximum 15% of fund in any single project

What happens if a project fails?

If a project encounters serious problems, we have several recourse options:

  • Draw on contingency reserves
  • Exercise completion guarantees from developer
  • Step-in rights to replace developer if necessary
  • Liquidate and recover collateral value

Due to diversification, even a complete loss on one project would reduce overall fund returns by approximately 60-80 basis points, not eliminate them entirely.

Why should I believe affordable housing is a good investment during a recession?

Affordable housing is notably counter-cyclical. During economic downturns:

  • Demand for affordable units increases as people downsize
  • Government support often increases (stimulus, expanded vouchers)
  • Competition for affordable units remains high (waitlists typical)
  • Construction costs often decrease, improving project economics

The 2008 financial crisis actually saw increased occupancy and stable performance for affordable housing while market-rate struggled.

Social Impact Questions

How do you measure social impact?

We track comprehensive metrics published on-chain quarterly:

  • Units financed and families housed
  • Average Area Median Income (AMI) served
  • Rent savings vs. market rate
  • Jobs created (construction and permanent)
  • Environmental certifications (LEED)
  • Transit access and community amenities

All metrics are verified by third-party housing nonprofits annually.

What is the social impact of Fund I?

Over 5 years, Fund I will:

  • Finance 1,228 affordable housing units
  • House approximately 3,000 individuals (2.5 persons/household average)
  • Generate $36M in cumulative rent savings vs. market rates
  • Create 2,450 jobs (construction and permanent)
  • Serve households at 60% AMI average
  • Achieve 80%+ LEED certification rate

How do you ensure projects actually remain affordable long-term?

All projects have legally binding affordability restrictions:

  • LIHTC projects: 15-year minimum (often 30+ years)
  • Government-funded projects: Up to 55 years of restrictions
  • Regulatory agreements recorded as deed restrictions
  • Annual compliance monitoring by state agencies
  • Significant financial penalties for non-compliance

Operational Questions

How do I invest?

The investment process is straightforward:

  1. Review offering documents (PPM, subscription agreement)
  2. Complete KYC/AML verification (upload ID, proof of address)
  3. Verify accredited investor status (income/net worth documentation)
  4. Sign subscription documents electronically
  5. Fund your investment via wire transfer or USDC transfer
  6. Receive tokens in your wallet within 5 business days

The entire process typically takes 5-10 business days.

Yes, but we make it easy. We'll help you set up a wallet (MetaMask or similar) during onboarding if you don't already have one. If you prefer, we can also provide custodial wallet services where we hold your tokens on your behalf.

How do I track my investment?

You'll have access to a comprehensive investor portal showing:

Consult with your tax advisor for specific guidance on your situation.

Can I invest through my IRA or 401(k)?
