Crowdfunding: Housers Launches Second Investment in Lisbon
6 February 2018
The online crowdfunding platform, Housers, launched its second investment opportunity in the city of Lisbon, in the parish of Avenidas Novas, a few minutes away from the University City.
The investment entails taking part in a joint fund to acquire, decorate, rent and eventually sell a one-bedroom apartment in the district of Santos ao Rego.
The minimum investment in the platform is 50 euros.
According to João Távora, the CEO of Housers in Portugal, “we are starting 2018 with a real estate crowdfunding opportunity in one of the areas with the highest growth and attractiveness of the city of Lisbon. A few minutes from the city’s principal universities, the property is in a prime location that has elevated demand for rental properties. In addition to being a less risky investment, this type of opportunity comes with InstantRent, i.e., investors start to receive the estimated returns from the rental beginning in the first month, without having to wait for the property to be remodelled and rented out.”
The investment horizon was set at ten years, with the objective of selling the property in the fifth. Investors who participate in the project will receive their proportional share resulting from the rental and revaluation of the flat each month.
The property offers an estimated monthly net profitability of 3.7% in the case of leasing. The accumulated profitability after five years from the rental and sale of the property is expected to be 26.67%.
Investors will also be able to sell their participation in Housers’ Marketplace, where investments can be bought and sold during the life of the contract.
Housers began operations in Portugal in October 2017 and already has 2,000 registered Portuguese users in a fast-growing sector that offers attractive returns and low risk.
