Rental-to-Equity Program for Renters
A portion of each rental payment is set aside as a rebate in the form of equity tokens (EQT). These tokens can be used to purchase a property owned by the DAO or converted into an investor NFT at the end of the rental term.
Rental-to-Equity Structure:
Equity Tokens (EQT): These tokens represent the equity portion of the renter's payments. Each EQT token corresponds to a proportional value of the equity accumulated from rental payments.
Rebate Calculation: A predetermined percentage of each monthly rental payment is converted into EQT tokens, which accumulate over the rental term.
Token Characteristics:
Non-Fungible: EQT tokens are tied to individual renters and their specific rental agreements, making them non-transferable.
Rebate Value: The value of EQT tokens increases with the length of the rental term and the amount of rent paid.
Accumulation Process:
Monthly Conversion: Each month, a portion of the renter's payment is converted into EQT tokens. This process is automated and transparent.
End-of-Term Rebate: At the end of the rental term, the accumulated EQT tokens can be used towards purchasing a property from the DAO's portfolio or converted into an investor NFT.
