Realtor.com Partnership & Listing Data Published & Final Countdown!

8 months ago

We are turning on the listing data for properties in San Francisco. This will allow us to simplify the buying and investing process, having another potential revenue source through referrals with Realtor.com, as well as making it easier for visitors to our website.

https://zeehaus.com/property

Later, we will start expanding the listing data to other locations.

We are still making a few remaining enhancements, fixes (manual address searching does not return data, for example, since it was initially built with a more limited properties, but we are expanding to be more widely used), and we are adding more property details, as many of the data we implemented and planned for investors and homebuyers are not displayed on the public version, so the property page will have a few more property data soon.

Apologize for all the email reminders. This will be the final communication regarding this Zeehaus offering. Today is the last day to invest in Zeehaus at $0.60 a share. If you haven't invested, you can still do so before the end of day.

8 months ago

Regardless of whether or not you invested, we wanted to say thank you for your support and all the great questions & feedback to our campaign.

Interactive Calculator & Tool to Help Real Estate Investors.

8 months ago

We wanted to send you our new & enhanced Investor Calculator. We received some feedback that things are getting complicated for the platform, so we wanted to clarify a couple of things:

First, we are providing a lot of information to our StartEngine community with the hope of giving everyone a good picture of our planned business model and platform features. We also wanted to demonstrate how every type of user (investors, buyers, agents, trustees, and internal trust management) can work together to simplify the real estate purchase, investment, and ownership process. When buyers and real estate investors come to our platform, we will try to make sure the process and experiences are as simple and secure as possible.
Second, we plan to roll out tools like the investor calculator to help ease the learning process of buying and investing a bit easier.

We are fixing a few remaining issues, so please note that some of the data may be not 100% accurate, but we wanted to send this out to everyone before the campaign ends:

https://zeehaus.com/invest_with_homebuyer/advanced_calculator

The calculator covers various scenarios: Investing during a property purchase, during Property Sale, Trade, and Buy-Out (when a property is bought out by the homeowner), as well as a year-by-year breakdown of the estimated income, expenses, profits, and IRR (Internal Rate of Return). So it lets an investor simulates what happens if you sell/trade part of investment shares in different years of the ownership, as well as estimated changes in profits (year-by-year) when there is any change in any of the following scenarios:

Estimated Property Appreciation %
Consumer Price Index %
Potential Default %
Trade Shares
Buy-Out
Full Property Sale

Reminder that tomorrow is the final chance to invest in Zeehaus at $0.60 a share! If you haven't invested, you can still do so at startengine.com/zeehaus

Is Investing in Equity Sharing Properties a Good Option?

8 months ago

If you are a real estate investor or thinking of becoming one, you might be wondering what are the pros and cons of Equity Sharing Investing vs traditional rental investment properties vs. investing in syndicated real estate investments like a REIT?

Let's take a look at how investors can benefit from our unique investment model.

Investment Fee
- Equity Sharing: Invest and sell at a fraction of the costs compared with traditional rental properties, ranging from $5 to $250 per investment.
- Rental Property Investment: Investors need to pay significant closing costs for purchase (~1% to 3% of the property value) and sale (~5% to 10% of the property value). If hiring a property manager to help manage the investment property, a monthly fee (6% - 12%) will be collected based on the rental income.
- REIT Investment: Often, there are many different types of management fees: acquisition, performance, divestment, etc, which can range from several percentage points of an investment, especially for private REIT. For publicly traded REIT, the fees are similar to buying stocks.
Purchase, Sale, and Liquidity
- Equity Sharing: Simple & secure online search of properties, view profile, digital Click & Invest process that can be done virtually.
- Rental Property Investment: Traditional property buying process, by working with a real estate agent, completing the buying and closing process, and obtaining a mortgage (usually). While the property can be listed for sale at any time, it requires very high selling fees.
- REIT Investment: Private REITs are available to accredited investors only, and there is a lack of a liquid market in general. Publicly traded REITs are the most liquid as they are generally listed on a stock exchange.
Cash & Cash Flow
- Equity Sharing: A lower capital requirement, starting at $100 to $500 of property value for sharing equity investment. No complex process of obtaining a mortgage loan is required, so there is never an underwater loan and investors never need to worry about negative cash flow. Investors will receive steady rental income each month.
- Rental Property Investment: Significant down payment, generally from 30% to 40% of a property, is required to qualify for a mortgage loan in order to invest in rental property. Depending on rental yields and property locations, investors are often faced with negative flows, especially in higher-priced properties.
- REIT Investment: Private REITs generally require higher minimum investments that can range from $1,000 to $25,000 (or more). On the other hand, Investing in a publicly traded REIT is the lowest minimum, often at the cost of one share. Both types of REITs pay dividends, so there is no negative cash flow in general.
Diversification
- Equity Sharing: Diversify the portfolio across multiple properties in a digital marketplace with transparency. Simple and digital investing with low fees will allow investors to diversify and invest in different properties and neighborhoods in owner-occupied equity sharing properties.
- Rental Property Investment: Diversification will require buying multiple properties, which require significant time and capital.
- REIT Investment: Investors can diversify the portfolio by investing in different types of REITs, with the exception of high-minimum private REITs. Investing in a publicly traded REIT through stock purchases allows an investor to easily diversify at low costs.
Privacy & Transparency
- Equity Sharing: Invest in a property with complete privacy and everything done securely online, with a click of a mouse. Every step of the real estate transaction, such as submitting offers, viewing documentation, and performing closing tasks, is done online in an integrated dashboard.
- Rental Property Investment: Buying rental property is fully transparent. However, property ownership is public information that lacks privacy.
- REIT Investment: Investing in private REIT lacks transparency while providing the privacy of investing in real estate. Investing in public REIT provides full transparency and privacy of investing in real estate.
Property Maintenance
- Equity Sharing: Buyers are responsible for property maintenance and upkeep, thus investors do not need to worry about property issues.
- Rental Property Investment: Investors are responsible for property maintenance and upkeep, as renters are not responsible for property maintenance costs.
- REIT Investment: REIT managers are responsible for property maintenance and upkeep, thus investors do not need to worry about property issues.

Please note that our Zeehaus crowdfunding campaign ends on September 30th. There are just two days remaining to invest in Zeehaus at $0.60 a share!

Zeehaus Vision & Go-to-Market

8 months ago

As the campaign is coming to a close, we wanted to share a couple of final thoughts and updates.

Our Vision: We enable everyone to invest in properties, and when we have a few hundred to 1000 people, we can help a homebuyer accomplish homeownership. We also plan to work with institutional investors, governments, homebuilders, and philanthropists, which we hope will make the process quicker. Plus, this money does not go away, investors get actual ownership and receive a rental income. When you want to buy a home, we believe that others would do the same for you! That is the vision.

Our model doesn't require unsustainable subsidies (such as affordable housing support from governments and homebuilders), Fannie Mae mortgages, or foreign sovereign funds. If you're able and willing to put in a few hundred, a few thousand, or more, together we can then help homebuyers achieve homeownership and contribute in a meaningful way to solving our housing crisis.

Go-to-Market: As we work on the final fixes and get the platform ready, we've started our go-to-market efforts to socialize our technology and business model with institutional investors, homebuilders, and various agencies. As discussed, our priority is to start the 2nd property as soon as possible. Then we will decide the company funding needs and find the right opportunity to seek additional funding to help us execute our launch and growth, hopefully at a higher valuation.

Information on Equity Sharing Ownership Model

8 months ago

How does Equity Sharing Ownership stack up against renting a home or buying a home with a mortgage? We wanted to quickly summarize the key points why we believe that we can really make a tremendous impact in changing the housing markets and why we expect strong demand from homebuyers who will benefit from our unique ownership model.

Pros & Cons of Zeehaus Homebuyers vs. Renting vs. Mortgage:

Upfront Cash Requirements:
- Equity Sharing: 5% equity + 3-Month security deposit
- Renting: $1,000 to 2 months of rent as a deposit
- Mortgage: Typically 20% down
Closing Costs:
- Equity Sharing: Typically, 1% to 2% of property purchase price, but can be as low as $0 with agent commission rebates
- Renting: N/A
- Mortgage: Typically, 1% to 2% of property purchase price
Monthly Payments:
- Equity Sharing: Lowest, 30% -40% lower than the mortgage before factoring in additional equity purchase of 1% annually (Annual 1% equity purchase is spread out evenly each month). Some properties may achieve higher savings in monthly payment when compared with buying with a mortgage, while other properties may have fewer savings or even carry higher monthly fees. Many factors, such as mortgage rates, property locations, and property prices, will impact the potential monthly payment savings from equity sharing ownership.
- Renting: Generally, a higher payment than Equity Sharing ownership
- Mortgage: Generally, highest monthly payment before any tax deduction
Ownership:
- Equity Sharing: 5% equity, with buying 1% equity per year via additional equity purchase until reaching 10% equity in 5 years
- Renting: N/A
- Mortgage: 100%, buyers obtain sole ownership immediately
Flexibility:
- Equity Sharing: During the 10-Year term, buyers can (1) sell the fractional ownership and transfer the equity sharing ownership to a new buyer without selling the whole property; (2) buy out the property from investors after 3 years; (3) extend the equity sharing ownership; (4) sell the entire property in the open market
- Renting: Short-term, typically 1-Year lease
- Mortgage: Typically 15-Year to 30-Year; buyers have the flexibility to sell the property at any time regardless of the mortgage terms
Maintenance:
- Equity Sharing: Buyers are responsible for property maintenance and upkeep
- Renting: Renters are not responsible for property maintenance costs
- Mortgage: Buyers are responsible for property maintenance and upkeep

Equity sharing ownership gives a buyer full decision-making and control, similar to owning the full property, in addition to being able to build the equity each year from 5% to 10%. Buyers can also buy out the property with a mortgage loan after 3 years of ownership, without having to incur property selling costs or putting it on the open market.

Most importantly, buyers can save on monthly payments (savings tends to be higher in lower-price markets, depending on many factors, such as rental market demands, interest rates, property prices, locations, etc)

Latest Click & Invest Features for Investor Platform.

8 months ago

We wanted to share an update regarding the completed Investor Dashboard this time, after we shared the updates about Blockchain and Buyer Dashboard.

We hope that you will take a few seconds to check out the below link for a few short video clips demonstrating the latest Investor dashboard features and capabilities.

https://youtu.be/sm6wDannBLo
A quick summary of Investor platform functionalities:
- KYC Verification:
  - A simple ID Upload navigation to verify identity by snapping a picture of the ID.
  - This process also went through a lot of enhancements to ensure it is fully secure and simple to use.
- Alerts & Notifications:
  - We implemented a new 'To-Do Lists' that will alert investors what tasks need to be performed, such as completing KYC, updates about a property's closing status, acceptance of a buy or sale trading request, etc.
- Click & Invest:
  - A 2-page solution to browse property & review offering terms, key documents, with Invest Now button that confirms property equity purchase instantly, in $100 increments.
- Interactive Calculator:
  - A new comprehensive tool packed with important estimates, such as rent, expense, and payout data that changes with property value, invested shares, and various scenarios: hold, sell, trade, during each of 10 years of the property ownership.
- Portfolio:
  - Simple interface to view property portfolio from committed funds, active investment, sold properties, payout history, activity history, and document management.

We wanted to reiterate our appreciation as your support was the reason that we have been able to turn an MVP into such a great solution and a platform to help achieve homeownership and simplify real estate investment. So we wanted to say thank you again. And because of the support from you, we are getting ready to launch our platform, gain some traction, and hopefully increase our company valuation in order to bring our solution to market and raise more fundings to grow & expand.

Case Study Comparison with American Homes 4 Rent

8 months ago

We have been working with investors to present our platform and our business model. One positive feedback that we've received is how we might perform in comparison with more established real estate management firms. We wanted to share one case study regarding American Homes 4 Rent (AH4R), which is a publicly traded firm with ~54K rental properties in their portfolio.

Their 2020 annual revenue is about $1.01B, primarily from rental revenue, and their net income is $154.8M. As landlords, they manage properties, and significant efforts are allocated to the maintenance and management of their properties. The data is from their published 2020 Annual Report: https://investors.ah4r.com/financials/annual-reports/default.aspx

54K Properties
Market Cap: $12.8B
Trading at PE of 128
Revenue: $1.01B
Net Income: $154.8M

While we cannot provide any financial analysis or estimates, what we want to highlight here is that Zeehaus does not need to manage properties physically, as equity sharing properties are owner-managed homes. Even though the Zeehaus revenue model is based on just ~15% from the recurring monthly rent, we believe that we have a much more efficient business model when compared with traditional real estate firms. Our secret sauce is our technology and Buyer-Managed Homes, thus creating not only an efficient real estate platform but also helping homebuyers and investors alike in owning real estate.

Hope you can join us and invest today at startengine.com/zeehaus

Final 10 Days of the Zeehaus Campaign!

8 months ago

Campaign closing in 10 days! As we approached the last 10 days of the campaign, we want to take these few remaining opportunities to provide additional information to our community. As some of you asked about the priority and impacts of Zeehaus Coin on the core business and what is the plan for Zeehaus coins going forward, we wanted to provide a quick update.

Additional Information on Zeehaus Coins:

While we have a renewed focus on the digital coins, our first priority is to complete our 2nd pilot property and make sure every aspect of our platform is firing on all cylinders. Then we will quickly decide if the funding situation allows us to complete all the marketing efforts & legal work needed to launch the coins, as we will need to make sure that 100% of what we plan to do is executed within the legal framework. We will also make sure doing this will help us, in terms of fundings and brand recognization, not distracting us from our core business. We believe that having all the developments already completed ahead of time should enable us to enable this feature without much disruption.

As mentioned in the previous update, the nonprofit organization will operate with full accountability and transparency, while collaborating with Zeehaus Inc. to advance its mission to help fund properties through Zeehaus' proprietary equity sharing platform and the digital HAUS coins. We also completed the development for the exchange of the money between Zeehaus and Haus Foundation, so the proceeds of coins and profits from real estate investments are stored in a custody account independently from Zeehaus with strict oversight.

Here is a quick summary of how it works:

Zeehaus sells HAUS coins. Funds are stored in the custodial account
- Proceeds from all HAUS coins sold go to the nonprofit organization, Zeehaus Foundation Inc. HAUS coins are sold via a public exchange or on the Zeehaus platform. The price of coins is always based on the market exchange rate. The holders of Zeehaus coins could decide to sell the coins and use the USD to invest if the coin price is higher than $1.
Buyers apply for funding and complete buying processes on the portal
Trustee & Buyer complete closing process. Property is tokenized on the blockchain
Property shares are posted on Zeehaus. All investors who complete identity verification can invest
- Investors and HAUS coin holders can invest during initial property purchase (when a homebuyer requests funding to share equity) or on the trading exchange within the first 120 days of the property closing escrow.
Investors buy property shares by redeeming HAUS Coins. Learn more about the latest HAUS exchange rate
- Rental income goes to the nonprofit organization, Zeehaus Foundation Inc., for any shares not bought/redeemed by coin holders. Rents received by the nonprofit org will also be re-invested and help fund property purchases for more buyers. Money, when a property is sold or bought out by the homeowner, will be re-invested.
Investors can only pay in USD if a property was not initially funded with money from the custodial account
- Using HAUS coins to redeem & invest in properties works the same way as using USD to invest.
Coins redeemed are transferred back to Zeehaus and sold again
Investors who sold property shares always receive cash, as it is important to establish a selling basis in USD

Zeehaus will not receive any funds from any sale, profits from rental incomes, or gains from investment. All proceeds from coins sold and profits from real estate investments will be held by the nonprofit organization and any profits will be re-invested to help homebuyers achieve homeownership. While Zeehaus will not profit or receive any funds from the HAUS coins, we hope that the ecosystem for HAUS coins would generate sustainable funding sources to help invest in properties, which in terms would help buyers purchase homes and generate recurring monthly management fees for Zeehaus when collecting & processing rents.

By making sure that every dollar sold from the coins goes to the nonprofit foundation to purchase real estate with homebuyers, we believe that we are solving three problems at once:

Enable homebuyers to achieve homeownership
Enable a new way to allow as many people to purchase digital tokens with a good social cause and to invest in real estate at a lower threshold by leveraging our unique cryptocurrency
Create a sustainable way to fund property purchases without subsidy from governments or homebuilders
Create a unique cryptocurrency with true intrinsic value

Zeehaus Blockchain Explorer ledger and Buyer Application videos

8 months ago

As mentioned in our previous campaign update, we wanted to share a couple of short video clips demonstrating the latest platform features and capabilities.

Blockchain Explorer ledger page:
- https://youtu.be/CbqEjPv8EdI
Buyer application:
- https://youtu.be/yIv53jZgTUs

A quick summary of our blockchain system based on Hyperledger Fabrics network:

We're excited to announce that our blockchain network is also functioning, with the first property recorded. This is the final piece of our puzzle in our proprietary system after a property purchase closes escrow.
We've implemented 2 versions: Public BlockchainExplorer page and a Dashboard Blockchain Explorer page
The 'Public BlockchainExplorer' page is for inquiries on the property title buy/sale transactions.
- Please visit the following link and type in "404 Mount Olive" in the Address field:
  - https://zeehaus.com/blockchain
- The public version of this explorer page will show basic ownership on the title (like equity held by homebuyers and the trust), which is similar to publicly available title and owner of a property recorded in a county or state registry. For the privacy and security of investors, it will not show any fractional ownership held by investors.
The 'Dashboard Blockchain Explorer' is a secure & signed-in version for investors:
- Only individual real estate investors who sign in securely can view the property shares invested & recorded on the blockchain using the dashboard version
- Property shares bought and sold on the trading exchange will be recorded instantly on the blockchain ledger
By the way, we are working to improve the performance of our website (as we are upgrading the React JS UI libraries), as you may be seeing a few seconds to load the page the first time you get on the page.
Click & Invest features: We will share one more update about the features on the investor dashboard in the coming days.

Thanks for all the support from our community, which enabled us to implement quite a complex platform with many innovative concepts and proprietary features to tie everything together. Without that, we would not have been able to devote the time and resources to get to where we are today. We will soon be able to welcome our supporters to participate in real estate investments and hopefully to start gaining traction and increasing the company's valuation.

We plan to also give our crowdfunding investors exclusive access to the launch of HAUS Coins.
All of the fundings will be held by a nonprofit foundation and strictly used to purchase real estate so each coin can be used to redeem for one property share (at $1 one-to-one exchange).

Go-to-Market:

As our development efforts are ramping down, we will be focusing on go-to-market tasks and start introducing our features phase-by-phase.
While there are challenges ahead, we are working as hard as possible to demonstrate our assets, our technology, and our mission, in order to raise more funds to launch public and grow our users. To do so, we are hoping to complete these key milestones:
- Realtor.com listing data: Oct 2021
- 2nd property beta release: Nov 2021

We will share more updates after the legal work is done and the system is updated.

We plan to turn on the property listing data in July, through our partnership with Realtor.com as a first step toward launching our platform, while we prepare and secure resources and funding for turning on each feature step-by-step.

We hope that you will continue to support us in making our new real estate platform a reality and embark on our mission to help solve a housing crisis facing our communities, digitize real estate transactions, increase homeownership for homebuyers while helping aspiring investors own & sell properties more affordably and efficiently.

We've formed a joint partnership with Realtor.com!

over 1 year ago

Hi everyone -

We have an exciting announcement! We have just entered into a partner and lead generation agreement with Realtor.com (part of Move Inc) on December 17, 2020.

As part of the partnership agreement, Realtor.com will pass nationwide MLS listing data with Zeehaus. (Listing brokers do have an option to approve or decline the listing data) In exchange, we will refer prospective buyers to their agent network. If that buyer completes a property purchase (equity sharing or traditional way), we will receive compensation based on a tiered structure and the purchase price.

We believe that this partnership will help us in the followings:

By having as many active MLS listings as possible, we will reduce the need for manually entering property data by the buyer or buyer agent when posting a property on Zeehaus.
Opportunity to bring our brand and increase visibility to agents nationwide: We believe that it would help us gain users and traffics and reach brokers & agents who are part of the MLS networks quicker organically.
Revenue potential as a lead-gen partner with Realtor.com

For the first two to three months, our listing data will be focused on the Bay Area, then the LA area, and the rest of California. We plan to expand the listing data nationwide very soon.

We look forward to completing the listing integration in the next 45 to 60 days while we are starting the pilot property at the same time. We believe this partnership with realtor.com would make it easier for buyers and agents to use our platform as it reduces the need for manually entering property information, as well as making it easier for buyers and investors to view 'for sale' properties.

We are excited about this partnership, and we will do our best to complete this integration to complement our digital real estate platform and equity sharing ownership.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
