Collective is the first fractional equity platform that enables investors to earn compelling equity returns on the construction of new single-family homes. Investors easily invest in new homes and profit from their sale.

Collective enables a group of investors (accredited investors or qualifying non-U.S. residents/citizens) to come together and make fractional investments in the construction of new homes. It offers both a listing site for projects seeking investment and on-chain tools for crypto investment and project equity accounting and management.

Collective's project listing and equity management tools empower Project Sponsors to offer new home construction investment opportunities to accredited investors and qualifying non-U.S. resident/citizen investors.

Collective features investment opportunities offered and managed by Project Sponsors, independent businesses that specialize in homebuilding, project management, and home sales. Investors transact with Project Sponsors directly. Project Sponsors list projects available for investment, invest alongside their investors, manage those projects on behalf of the investor pool, sell the property, and distribute gains (or losses) to investors.

Project Sponsors list projects available for investment, and they manage those projects on behalf of the investor pool for a fee. When homes are completed and sold, investors receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds (after the Project Sponsor fee).

Project Sponsors may require a minimum investment. You will find that information listed alongside other project details on each Project page.

Investments featured on the Collective platform are available to (i) accredited investors as defined by federal law and (ii) those who are qualifying non-U.S. resident and non-U.S. citizen investors.

Under federal guidelines, as an individual investor, you must satisfy at least one of the below requirements.

1. Individual income of $200,000 (or $300,000 if filing jointly); 2. Net worth of $1,000,000 (individually or jointly); or 3. Currently hold one of the following professional certifications: General Securities Representative license (Series 7), Private Securities Offerings Representative license (Series 82), or Investment Adviser Representative license (Series 65).

You may also qualify as a business. For more information on these qualifications, please click here.

The easiest way to verify your accreditation might be simply to provide a letter from your accountant or legal counsel stating as much.

Otherwise, to demonstrate income qualification, you may provide:

• Tax filings or pay stubs; - A letter from an accountant or employer confirming your actual and expected annual income; or
• IRS Forms like W-2s, 1040s, 1099s, K-1s or other tax documentation that report income.

To demonstrate net worth qualification, you may provide documentation revealing all of your asset and liability information to accurately calculate net worth. This may include:

1. Credit report
2. IRS forms
3. Consumer credit report listing all liabilities outstanding
4. Deeds or other evidence of ownership for real estate holdings
5. Third-party valuation of property holdings
6. Value of private company securities holdings
7. Proof of vehicle ownership

Please upload a written confirmation from your business’ personal attorney, certified public accountant, broker-dealer or registered investment adviser stating that within the prior three months, he or she has determined, after reasonable investigation that your business meets the criteria of “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (click here to view a sample letter).

No, never. Any financial information you share with Project Sponsors is held in the strictest confidence and only reviewed by the Project Sponsor team. You can find our privacy policy here.

Unless otherwise specified within the project listing, each project is managed through a unique Delaware LLC. That LLC owns the project’s properties, accepts investments, manages the construction and sale process, and makes distributions to its investors.

Investors purchase a membership interest in the LLC when they invest in a project. The Operating Agreement for the LLC, provided to you for signature when you invest, details the terms under which the Project Sponsor manages the project and the fees it earns by doing so. It also defines how investors earn their pro-rata return upon sale of the homes (i.e. after costs, expenses and fees). Unless otherwise specified by the Project Sponsor, projects offered are all equity; no debt.

Collective offers two ways for you to fund your investments:

1. Wire or ACH payment from your bank account to the Project LLC’s bank account.
2. Send digital $USDC on Polygon to the Project LLC’s crypto wallet.

You will be prompted to select your investment method when you choose to invest in a Project.

Upon sale of a property, the Project Sponsor distributes profits to investors pro rata. Additional information is contained in the Operating Agreement for each Project, which you will be able to review before investing.

If you are a U.S. accredited investor, Project Sponsors will issue you a K1 reflecting your pro rata share of the Delaware LLC’s tax liability and will distribute the funds required to meet that liability.

If you are a qualifying non-U.S. citizen/resident investor, Project Sponsors are obliged by federal law to withhold your tax liability on any profits and to forward payment directly to the IRS on your behalf. Project Sponsors will distribute your net post-tax earnings to you.

If you’re interested in becoming a Project Sponsor, please let us know via this form. We will update when the opportunities expand.

Built on state-of-the-art blockchain infrastructure, Rigor is the new trust layer for new home construction finance. Rigor enables investors to finance home construction projects directly, simplifies payments administration to the supply chain and brings transparency to capital flows. Rigor enables homebuilders to find the capital they need to build more homes, from digital asset markets.

Rigor’s financial controls introduce new capital efficiencies to a historically fraught asset class in which capital flows lag workflows dramatically; the software assures that contractors and vendors can be paid automatically, directly and instantly, eliminating the waste, fraud, and inefficiencies of today’s traditionally opaque payment practices. Collective’s Project Sponsors may leverage Rigor to manage capital flows and workflows.

The Project Sponsor will make the determination of which course of action is optimal based on market conditions when projects are completed and ready for sale.

At present, the Collective platform supports one investment per Project per investor. It does not support multiple investments in the same Project. You are able to invest across multiple Projects.

No. Projects can only offer securities pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (The Securities Act).

Projects on Collective are responsible for ensuring their own offerings comply with relevant laws and regulations.

Typically in the U.S., Collective projects use Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act. Rule 506(c) allows issuers to broadly solicit and advertise an offering to the public, including through the use of online platforms, social media, and other forms of mass communication. However, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to qualify for this exemption.

First, all purchasers in the offering must be accredited investors, which means they meet certain income or net worth requirements. Second, the issuer must take reasonable steps to verify that the purchasers are accredited investors, such as by reviewing tax returns or bank statements. Third, certain other conditions in Regulation D must be satisfied, such as the requirement to file Form D with the SEC.

Collective hires third-party KYC/AML screeners and accreditation verifiers to ensure that U.S. investors using the platform meet the suitability requirements of Rule 506(c). Individual projects are responsible for adhering to other conditions in Regulation, including filing a Form D and complying with state-specific fee requirements and other laws.

No, individual projects are responsible for offering and selling their own securities, for compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and for maintaining the accuracy of the information presented by such projects. Collective does not verify information provided by projects using this platform and makes no assurances as to the completeness or accuracy of any such information. All investors are encouraged to seek independent advice from a registered investment adviser.
