Frequently Asked Questions
- We focus on lending only in key metropolitan areas in Ontario. We like to remain “close to home”. This allows us to visit our projects regularly and stay up to date on their progress.
- Fundscraper’s investment team brings diverse industry experience in real estate development, finance, private equity, law, and technology. As a member, you’ll get a direct line to us. We’ll help you invest in private real estate with confidence. Meet our team.
- The Fundscraper management team has a proven track record of generating consistent premium returns to our investors with no investor losses to date. Our investors earned an average of 10% net annual return since our inception in 2017.
- Since the private real estate market is riddled with lemons, the party with better and more comprehensive information on the real estate asset and the local market often wins. Hence, a thorough and rigorous underwriting process is a pivotal part of de-risking an investment, identifying the catalysts on an excellent value-add opportunity, and minimizing your chances that the asset within a pool will underperform expectations. Fundscraper underwriters have high standards. They ensure that every property within every pool in our virtual marketplace is worth your investment.
We have a 1% portfolio management fee and interest rate spread (generally 200 basis points). The spread is the difference between the gross interest rate paid by the borrower and the interest rate earned by the investor.
We generally permit our investors to redeem at any time unless there are extraordinary circumstances that makes that impossible.
We discourage investors from redeeming early by charging a modest early termination fee – so, for example, if you redeem prior to the maturity date (or term) of your investment, we may in our discretion assess a charge of up to 5% for that early redemption, depending on how early you choose to redeem.
Fundscraper Trust lends money indirectly to many borrowers of different sizes and risk profiles. Fundscraper Trust then groups or “pools” mortgages that are similar.
You subscribe for units of the Trust. The Trust then takes your money and invests it, through a related vehicle, into mortgages. As borrowers repay those mortgages back to the Trust, the Trust passes on the payments to you!
You are looking first for safety. How safe you want to be will determine what kind of mortgage pool you will eventually invest in.
Secondly, you are looking for “return” – how much interest you want to earn back on your investment will have to to be weighed against how secure you want to be. Third, you want transparency.
You want to know clearly and simply what it is you are investing in and what you may reasonably expect in the form of return. No other platform delivers this better than Fundscraper.
