Investment portfolio

  • Fintor

    Participated · Equity · Oct 2022

    Fintor offers a mobile app (iOS and Android) that lets everyday investors buy fractional shares of properties by issuing shares of LLCs that own the underlying assets, under SEC Regulation A. The platform permits investments starting at $5 and currently lists single‑family residences in states including Georgia, South Carolina, Texas and Alabama. Fintor operates a secondary marketplace where users can place bid and ask trades after listings have been live for more than 90 days, and it provides educational content targeted at Gen Z and millennial investors. The company outsources property management to remain operationally lightweight and focus on acquisitions and fractionalization. Fintor plans to enter 20 markets by the end of 2022 and eventually expand into multifamily, industrial and other property types. The company has launched its mobile app and recently raised new capital, reflecting early‑stage commercialization progress. Fintor, founded in 2020 by Farshad Yousefi and Masoud Jalali, buys homes via LLCs and securitizes each property into shares sold through an SEC‑approved broker‑dealer. The mobile platform targets millennials and Gen Z, aiming to make real estate investing accessible with minimum investments starting at $5. Fintor seeks properties in the $80,000–$350,000 range and is already active in markets including Kansas City, South Carolina and Houston. The company plans to sign agreements with individual real estate investors and larger development firms to list properties on its platform. As it scales, Fintor will use machine learning to filter and rate properties, price offers to sellers, and build city-level indexes to enable instant diversification. The startup raised seed funding to continue building out its fractional real-estate investing product and expand listings.
