1. Executive Summary
MicroCorp & Micrownership Inc. is a real estate acquisition and ownership platform designed to democratize access to land and property investments. Through a micro-ownership model, we empower individuals to co-invest in land parcels, reduce entry barriers, and achieve tangible real estate ownership within 24-36 months. We offer a streamlined, technology-driven experience, ensuring that small-scale investors can pool resources to collectively purchase, own, and manage real estate assets.
With MicroCorp serving as the overarching corporate structure and Micrownership as its flagship product, the initiative aims to disrupt the traditional real estate model. The focus is on group ownership of 5+ acres of land at affordable prices, breaking down the complexities of property acquisition and making wealth generation accessible to all.
2. Introduction
Traditional real estate ownership has remained out of reach for many individuals due to rising property prices, strict lending policies, and high entry costs. MicroCorp & Micrownership Inc. introduces a new paradigm where 10-20 individuals can collectively invest in real estate by pooling resources. Each investor becomes part of an ownership pool, contributing to the down payment and mortgage repayment over a short, fixed period.
Our platform caters to those seeking tangible real estate assets with a clear path to individual ownership. Investors who participate gain direct access to land with the potential for subdivision, profit-sharing, or collective development.
3. Problem Statement
Key Issues in Traditional Real Estate:
- High Capital Requirements: Most people are priced out of the market, as down payments and mortgage conditions require significant upfront capital.
- Strict Lending Policies: Many potential buyers are excluded due to credit scores, employment histories, or income levels.
- Lack of Trust in Alternative Investments: There are few reliable, community-oriented investment options, making real estate inaccessible to everyday investors.
- Slow Wealth Accumulation: Traditional savings plans and home purchases take decades to yield meaningful equity.
