🏡 Benefits of Fractionalized Real Estate With Akru

Have you ever wanted to invest in commercial real estate but didn't have the resources to do so? Commercial real estate fractionalization might be the answer you're looking for. By breaking down a property into smaller shares, investors can now acquire a stake in a commercial property for as little as $1,000. This week's newsletter will delve into the numerous benefits of fractionalization for retail real estate investors, focusing on how Akru is revolutionizing the real estate investment scene.

⬇️ Lower Barriers to Entry

One of the most significant benefits of fractional ownership is that it lowers the barriers to entry for investors who may not have had the resources to participate in commercial real estate investments. In addition, with fractionalization, investors can diversify their portfolios and spread their risk across various assets, reducing dependence on any single asset or investment. For example, Akru has recently offered fractional ownership opportunities in two recently redeveloped apartment buildings in Chicago, Fry, and Leavitt, with investment opportunities starting at just $1,000.

📈 Portfolio Diversification

By investing in fractionalized real estate, investors can diversify their portfolios and spread their risk across various assets, reducing their dependence on any single asset or investment. This can help to protect against market volatility and improve overall portfolio performance. With Akru, investors can access various commercial real estate properties, providing them with a wide range of options to diversify their portfolios.

💵 Enhanced Liquidity

Fractional ownership allows for the straightforward buying and selling of property shares, reducing transaction costs and increasing liquidity. This means that investors can quickly and effortlessly cash out their investments if needed, giving them greater flexibility and control over their assets. In addition, Akru's platform provides investors a user-friendly interface for buying and selling property shares, making it easy to manage and monitor their investments.

🔒 Greater Security and Transparency

Fractional ownership and blockchain technology provide investors with a high level of transparency and security in real estate transactions, reducing the risk of fraud and ensuring that ownership records are recorded on an immutable ledger. This enhances security and provides investors with greater confidence in their investments. Akru's platform is built on blockchain technology, providing investors with a high level of security and transparency in all their real estate transactions.

💸 Ease of Transaction

Fractional ownership allows for easy buying and selling of property shares on a blockchain-based platform, reducing the administrative burden associated with managing commercial properties and providing investors with more time to focus on other aspects of their business. Akru's platform streamlines the process of investing in commercial real estate, making it easy for investors to manage and monitor their investments.

Akru is at the forefront of fractionalized real estate investment, providing investors with a user-friendly platform for investing in quality, revenue-producing commercial real estate assets. With Akru, investors can quickly diversify their portfolios and benefit from the numerous advantages of fractional ownership.

🎨 Freeport to Tokenize Original Warhols

Freeport, a blockchain-based platform that allows people to invest in fine art, recently announced that it would offer an exclusive four-piece collection of prints from pop artist Andy Warhol. The four works were "partially acquired" from well-known art collectors, including Jane Holzer. Each piece will be available as shares in security tokens, with only 1,000 tokenized lots each. The prints in the collection include some of Warhol's most famous works – including "Marilyn" (1967), "Double Mickey" (1981), "Mick Jagger" (1975), and "Rebel Without a Cause (James Dean)" (1985).

With Freeport's platform launch set for May, interested collectors can join the waitlist below.  

Freeport will utilize Vertalo, a registered transfer agent, to tokenize the artworks to be bought and sold on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. The platform cleared a regulatory hurdle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday, allowing it to fractionalize shares of fine artworks as security tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

Fractionalized shares will be created for each artwork, with shares issued in the entity that holds the art as its sole asset. This allows users to gain exposure to expensive pieces without purchasing the entire asset. The artwork will be fully insured and kept in a secure vault on the United States East Coast. The starting price for each tokenized lot will vary from $250 to $860. Freeport's platform is not only about investment opportunities but also facilitates experiences for community members to interact with the artwork they own.

Investors can purchase shares of the artwork through a primary issuance, where Freeport offers shares directly to the public. Once the offering has been fully subscribed, claims will be delivered to investors. Only 1,000 investors will have access to each initial offering to ensure a tight community of collectors.

Freeport's shares will be represented by tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. That means investors can use the 3D Gallery to display their favorite digital artwork in an Ethereum wallet alongside the pieces sold on Freeport. The company plans to integrate additional blockchain-based utilities as the market matures.

Investors can sell their shares once Freeport has established a secondary market with a licensed securities trading service or hold them until the physical artwork is bought out, receiving both principal and a pro-rata distribution of profits, if applicable. Freeport anticipates holding onto the artwork for three to seven years on average. Still, they constantly monitor the market and will take advantage of earlier offers if they benefit their investors.

Freeport's CEO and co-founder, Colin Johnson, said, "We are beyond thrilled to launch the Freeport platform and open access to the once-exclusive world of fine-art investing. Our platform goes far beyond just fractionalizing shares of fine art into security tokens – we've built a fully-immersive and interactive platform hosting an art-centric community and redefining the ownership experience surrounding fractionalized art."

In conclusion, Freeport's new blockchain-based platform is set to democratize fine art investing by offering exclusive prints from pop artist Andy Warhol. With only 1,000 tokenized lots each, interested collectors can join the waitlist now to gain exposure to expensive pieces without purchasing the entire asset. Furthermore, Freeport's platform is not just about investment opportunities but also facilitates experiences for community members to interact with the artwork they own. With Freeport's launch set for May, this is an exciting opportunity to own a piece of history and experience the world of fine art like never before.
