Rent-to-invest product for residential tenants
Jun 12, 2023
With the cost of living as well as house prices continuously on the rise, the prospect of saving for a home is less and less likely for an increasing number of Americans.
A staggering 11.3 million Americans, who earn more than $75k, are renting their home. But with fast-paced lifestyles and no opportunity to save up, renters rarely commit to staying in buildings more than a year or two*.
For landlords, this behaviour negatively impacts asset values and presents a variety of operational challenges. Tenant loyalty is important for the building's reputation and value. High turnover of tenants is costly and increases the risk of negligence of the property and its facilities.
*Research conducted by Hedgehog amongst tenants living in the New York area in May 2023.
Opportunity
Alongside National Resources, an owner of multifamily apartments, we structured a unique investment product for retail individuals. The 'Resident Rewards Program' offered tenants in UNO, an apartment building situated in Edgewater Harbor, New Jersey, the opportunity to grow equity through paying rent. Participants are offered digital tokens representing an interest in the value of their building whenever they pay their rent or renew their lease.
At Hedgehog, we used our own smart contract and tokenization technology to create a unique experience, making it easy for tenants to quickly enrol in the program and claim their digital tokens. Our technology enables a smooth and intuitive user experience, whereby tenants are able to sign in to the Resident Rewards app at any time to check their portfolio, transaction history and any upcoming opportunities to earn tokens.
