New Real Estate Investment Platform Distributes its First Dividends

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Elevate.Money, a new investment platform that enables investors to gain exposure to real estate through fractional ownership and get a share of the potential rental income, has distributed dividends for September, October, and November 2021.

The company allows investors to purchase shares of its Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), which focuses on Single Tenant, Net Lease" (STNL) properties.

STNL real estate relies on one tenant paying 100% of the rent owed on the property, allowing Elevate.Money to thoroughly review the property through its proprietary financial model, Elevate Lens+ which is shared with investors on its website.

The company analyzes the lease and other legal documents and carefully screens the financial strength of the tenant as well as the surrounding area. Elevate.Money's goal is to purchase STNL properties fully leased to existing businesses such as dollar stores, fast-food restaurants, car washes, and gas stations.

"We've met one of the primary goals of Elevate.Money," said Sach Jhangiani, co-founder and CMO. "We wanted to provide more investors access to commercial real estate and the launch of our platform along with the release of dividends support that premise."

Elevate.Money's REIT collects rental income from tenants and then distributes dividends to its investors net of expenses. The dividend distributions are either paid in cash or reinvested in additional REIT shares, at the election of the shareholder. Cash dividends are deposited directly into the shareholder's designated bank accounts.

"There are many new investment platforms available and what it is to be an investor has changed. Day trading, Reddit forums and even well-designed, easy-to-use apps like Venmo have positioned 'wealth tech' as the way millennials and Gen Z manage their money," Jhangiani said. "For generations many wealthy investors have allocated a portion of their portfolio to real estate and for us at Elevate.Money, it was important that we offer the same opportunities at an entry point that makes it accessible to many more investors."

Elevate.Money's initial investment is only $100, lower than many other platforms' buy-in options, and users need not be accredited to begin investing.

"Most American businesses lease their properties," Jhangiani said. "And through Elevate you can become their landlord; our platform provides access to this asset class to those who otherwise couldn't enter the market."

"We're proud of what we've built," Jhangiani said. "We've taken a philosophy that everyone should be able to create real estate wealth, paired it with contemporary wealth tech design and systems, and are already showing returns for our investors."
