Overview

SHARE is the easiest way to build a portfolio of rental real estate. Our mission is to help our clients achieve financial security by making real estate investing and ownership a completely digital, low-risk and low-effort experience.

SHARE removes the upfront guesswork and effort required to identify and stabilize a rental property. We thoroughly assess on and off-market deals for projected returns and expenditures so our investors can make the most informed decisions. Once you identify your ideal investment property, SHARE helps you close the property and stabilize it for growth by renovating, repairing, and tenanting it.

Our investors are hands-free owners that take comfort in knowing SHARE is actively overseeing investments on their behalf. Our Client Success Team has decades of institutional-grade asset management experience, managing billions of dollars in assets.

    We collect a reserve at the time of closing which is used for unexpected repairs, maintenance and debt service. It can range between 1.5%-3.5% of the home purchase price which is assessed during our home inspection process. The first 12 months worth of reserves are collected at the initial purchase of your home. Subsequent reserves will be collected from rental revenue only when we go below the originally allotted amount.
    We do monthly cash distributions.
    If we are managing the home, we will make sure that we replace them with a new high quality tenant as quickly as possible. We will not be charging any property and SHARE related management fees during this period. There may be fees for tenant replacement depending on the property management partner. However, as part of the SHARE Rental Guarantee, if there is tenant turnover within your first 12-months, we will replace the tenant at no additional cost.

We have a 24 months lock-up period from the close date although this may vary by property. Should you choose to self-manage after the lock-up period then there will be an admin fee to transfer and terminate all management rights.
    Once you close on a SHARE property, we automatically become your institutional-grade asset managers. As your asset manager, we ensure that your property management partner meets best-in-class standards and reserve the right to approve all key decision making. Furthermore, your property management partner is incentivized by having predictable rental income and must maintain a high degree of tenant happiness.
