Real Estate Strategy
At Built By DAO, our primary mission is to create equitable, community-driven housing solutions through sustainable development and decentralized governance. By focusing on empowering members and building strong communities, we aim to transform the housing market and create long-term value for all stakeholders.
Strategic Property Acquisition
Targeted Markets
Urban Centers We prioritize properties in high-demand urban areas where housing affordability is a critical issue. These markets offer significant impact potential and strong property value growth opportunities.
Emerging Suburbs Suburban areas near urban hubs offer more affordable housing options while providing access to urban amenities. These locations are ideal for fostering long-term growth and livability.
Rural and Small Towns We invest in smaller communities to revitalize local economies and provide affordable options for those seeking a quieter lifestyle.
Property Types
Multi-Unit Residential Buildings Our primary focus is on apartment complexes and mixed-use developments to maximize housing capacity and provide scalable solutions for affordable living.
Single-Family Homes We invest in single-family homes in areas with high demand and affordability, providing flexible options for families and individuals looking to transition to homeownership.
Specialty Properties Specialty properties, such as co-living spaces, senior housing, and housing designed for specific needs, address niche markets while contributing to our mission.
Sustainable Development and Value-Add Strategies
Rehabilitation and Redevelopment
Value-Add Properties We acquire properties with potential for improvement through renovations, strategic management, or repositioning. This enhances living conditions while increasing property value and long-term returns.
Sustainable Upgrades Our rehabilitation efforts prioritize energy-efficient upgrades, environmentally friendly materials, and smart technology integration to reduce operational costs and improve sustainability.
Mixed-Use Developments
Community-Centric Design Our mixed-use developments combine residential units with commercial spaces, amenities, and public areas, creating vibrant communities that support local businesses and provide convenient services.
Flexible Use Spaces We design adaptable spaces for co-working, recreation, and community gatherings to ensure developments remain relevant and valuable over time.
Equity Accumulation Opportunities
Built By DAO members accumulate equity value credits during their participation. These credits are applied toward purchasing a home within the Built By DAO network, providing a clear and accessible pathway to homeownership.
How It Works Members earn credits over their engagement term, creating financial progress toward ownership. At the end of their term, credits can be redeemed for home purchases within the network.
If No Homes Are Available Extended participation allows members to remain in the program until suitable properties are available. Alternatively, equity credits can be transferred to future properties or reinvested into DAO-aligned initiatives, ensuring all members benefit from their contributions.
Supportive Commercial Spaces
Built By DAO remains focused on housing, but limited commercial spaces are included in select developments to enhance community resources and opportunities.
Purpose of Commercial Spaces Commercial spaces provide essential services and foster entrepreneurial ventures that align with the DAO’s mission. These spaces are designed to support community needs rather than commercial real estate goals.
Eligibility for Entrepreneurs Groups of at least three DAO members with established reputations can apply to utilize or co-own pooled commercial spaces. These ventures allow members to generate equity while supporting community development.
Examples of Use Co-working spaces, retail storefronts, and community hubs are examples of how these commercial spaces can enhance the vitality of Built By DAO communities.
Diversified Portfolio and Risk Management
Balanced Property Mix
Our portfolio includes a variety of property types, locations, and markets to mitigate risks and ensure stable returns. By diversifying across urban, suburban, and rural areas, we create a resilient and adaptable investment strategy.
Long-Term Value Creation
Focus on Appreciation We select properties with strong growth potential, guided by in-depth market research and analysis.
Income-Generating Assets Steady rental income supports maintenance and provides reliable returns to sustain long-term growth.
Partnerships and Collaboration
Public-Private Partnerships

Community Organizations
