    What are "bricks"?

    We talk a lot about the concept of buying your home "brick by brick". The video below explains the core concepts behind Ownify's fractional ownership structure.

    Here's a more detailed walkthrough with a real-life example of one of our Ownis:

    • The title to each home is held in its own Limited Liability Company (LLC)
    • Each LLC issues 10,000 shares
    • "Bricks" are shares in the LLC
    • Each brick is equivalent to 0.01% of the value of the home held by the LLC
    • Home values are established each month based on independent third party valuation services
    • As an Owni, you're buying bricks every month at market value and renting the bricks you haven't bought
