Title: Micro-apartment project in Germany
1Digitisation
of property purchase
process
2Main idea digitisation of property purchase
process
Classic model
of property
acquisition
Buying property as a finance
instrument
A turn-key, all-in-one solution
1. Doing a research 2. Making an enquiry 3. Going
on a property location tour 4. Meeting lawyers
and tax advisors 5. Choosing the property 6.
Reserving the property 7. Signing the
agreement 8. Waiting for the ownership record
to be placed on the land
register
1. Opening the website 2. Purchasing a share in a
fund (1 share equals 1
apartment)
1. Less time spending 2. Less fees (no asset
transfer tax, no legal
fees)
3Idea application
- Construction of micro-apartment complex in
Germany - Sale of units as shares of a fund to foreigners.
Initial conditions
- High micro-apartment liquidity on a 20-year
horizon. - 75 LTV (usually unavailable to foreign private
investors). - 1015 higher price than the market price.
- Higher yields in comparison to similar properties
on the market.
- Core investors and Tranio enter the project via
the SPV. - The SPV obtains bank financing with low (1.5)
interest rate and high (75) LTV. - Foreign unit ownership is structured via SPV
shares. - Each SPV stock is associated with a particular
unit.
Structuring
General thoughts
- Project budget 5 million of equity capital
15 million of bank loan. - The number of units under construction is 200.
- Our investor is expected to proceed with 100
million equity in 1 year time.
Competence distribution
- Tranio gathers core investors, finds end buyers
and manages all the communication with them. - A German developer is in charge of property
construction and asset management.
4Risks
1. Bank 2. Fund 3. End clients do not buy the product 4. Exit liquidity for the end client
Obtaining a loan for the SPV on favorable terms The end client KYC and its costs The loss of control in the SPV (the end clients stocks are non-voting, which means no control is lost) Can we do the project without creation a fund? If it is a fund anyway, what are the costs to set it up and manage the operations? What restrictions would be imposed on us and the investors? What jurisdiction would we have to create the fund in? If strategically we meet the definition of a fund, we would like to design an initial scenario that would not require creating a fund at once (or with less participants, lower project costs, etc.) for the future investors to understand the scheme and become convinced that it works, after which we could attract more investors to more expensive projects. This project has a big potential upside of reselling units to foreigners at a high margin due to favorable loans, unavailable on the open market, and a small downside, as even in the case of realisation delay or end client absence, core investors obtain assets that are reliable and liquid on a long-term horizon. The client may exchange the stock for a particular unit with an additional payment equal to the volume of financing The SPV undertakes to "quickly" buy it out at a 10-20 discount on the effective market price The SPV undertakes to assist in reselling his/her stock to other investors
5Whats next scenario
- Working out a legal solution
- Obtaining prior consent of a German bank
- Negotiating the purchase of micro-apartments from
an experienced German developer on a forward deal
(-10 of the market price) or participating as
an equity investor in a joint
construction project (-15 of the market) - Negotiating the terms on which the management
company (I-Live) is going to manage the building
once it is commissioned and how the Management
Company Bank Investor End Client relations
are to be managed - Initiating the construction and (off-plan) share
resale
6Contracts to be designed to regulate project
relations
- Investors Tranio (in the SPV)
- Developer SPV
- SPV end clients design an End Buyer Agreement
implicating the conveyance of rights for units to
them without the management
company losing control over the SPV jointly with
the bank
7Top priority tasks
Designing an optimal legal solution a scenario
for the realization of a such a project and its
costs Identifying risks Holding negotiations with
developers Discussing the scenario with the
German bank
