Equitide is a vertically integrated real estate trust open to everyone, not just the wealthy. We build attainable housing by aligning every party in the development stack. Lower costs mean better returns for investors and more attainable rents for tenants.

Why housing costs so much
Developers depend on financing and the people who provide it. When interest rates move a couple of points the whole project stops making sense.
The developer wants to build for less. The contractor wants to earn more. These interests are fundamentally opposed, and someone always loses.
Every markup at every stage flows through to rent. Margins are so tight that vacancies can jeopardize the mortgage. Renters pay the price for a broken system.
The Equitide model
We replaced the conflict with alignment. Every participant in the Equitide stack works at cost and earns equity in the outcome. No one profits from inefficiency. Everyone wins when the project succeeds.
The vertical stack
Crowdsources capital from investors. Owns and manages the fund. Charges a 1% annual management fee on assets under management.
Finds the property, secures entitlements, manages the project. Works at cost and is compensated with a 10% stake in the completed project.
Handles both offsite and onsite construction. Works at cost. Offsite construction alone typically reduces build time and cost by 30% or more.
Renters in Equitide properties can purchase shares. Dividends can be applied toward rent, creating a pathway from renting to ownership.
Crowdfunded investors own 80% of each project. Shares pay dividends from rental income and appreciate as property value grows.
Project value is benchmarked at 20x annual rent at 90% occupancy. A 10% equity stake in a well-run project is a meaningful return for work done at cost, with far less risk than traditional development financing.
Why this works
When the developer, builder, and renters all hold equity, everyone has the same goal: build efficiently, maintain well, keep occupancy high.
Building components in a controlled factory environment reduces build time and cost significantly. Faster delivery means less interest expense, which means lower rents.
In the Equitide model, risk is distributed across investors, the developer, and the builder. A bad outcome hurts everyone a little rather than one party a lot.
The first eREIT is managed by Wells and Co as developer and builder. Future eREITs can bring in other developers who adopt the same model.
