What are "bricks"?

Written by Frank Rohde | Nov 22, 2024

We talk a lot about the concept of buying your home "brick by brick". The video below explains the core concepts behind Ownify's fractional ownership structure.


Here's a more detailed walkthrough with a real-life example of one of our Ownis:

 

  • The title to each home is held in its own Limited Liability Company (LLC)
  • Each LLC issues 10,000 shares
  • "Bricks" are shares in the LLC
  • Each brick is equivalent to 0.01% of the value of the home held by the LLC
  • Home values are established each month based on independent third party valuation services
  • As an Owni, you're buying bricks every month at market value and renting the bricks you haven't bought
