SmartCrowd’s process simplifies property investment by allowing multiple investors to pool their funds together. Once a property is 100% funded, SmartCrowd creates a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to form a transparent ownership structure. 

This SPV acts as a separate company for investors to become shareholders in it. Each SPV is broken into 1,000,000 shares whereby SmartCrowd allocates your shares proportionate to your investment. As per the Dubai Land Department requirement, the SPV is incorporated and referenced in the public register of DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre). It’s all regulated and transparent!

Becoming a SmartCrowd investor is simple and free! Register on the SmartCrowd platform and complete the entire process in 5 minutes. Once you’re registered, browse our live properties, top up your wallet, and make your investment. Once the property you invest in gets 100% funded, all that’s left is for you to sit back, relax, and watch your passive income roll in.

1. Monthly Returns: You receive monthly returns calculated based on the rent collected from tenants minus the property-related costs, i.e. service charges, management fees, etc., proportionate to the percentage of the property you own as a shareholder.


2. Capital Appreciation: If the property’s value increases over time, you may also earn returns through capital appreciation when the property is sold or exited. Estimates of future returns are provided with the property listing on the platform and can be reviewed as part of the investment process.

Exiting an investment with SmartCrowd is a simple process designed to offer flexibility to our investors. While we recommend a holding period of 5 years for optimal returns, we understand that circumstances may change. Here are two methods for exiting your investment:

1. Voting to Sell: At the end of the recommended holding term or sooner if there’s a valid reason (such as an opportunity for significant profit), a mandatory vote is conducted. During this vote, investors have the option to sell their investments at market value.

2. Share Transfer Facility: If a property qualifies for our Share Transfer Facility, you can list some, or all, of your shares in that property for sale to other investors on the platform. Our Share Transfer Facility operates for a two-week period every six months in March and September, offering you the opportunity to plan your exits strategically or diversify your portfolio by acquiring shares from fellow investors.
