Levechy's New Investment Opportunity in Miyako Island
Levechy, a real estate crowdfunding platform based in Tokyo, has launched its latest investment fund, the 21st fund dedicated to a new residential property in Miyako Island, Okinawa. This venture presents a unique opportunity for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios with real estate starting with just 10,000 yen.
Fund Overview
The 21st fund focuses on a four-year-old residence located in the Hirara-ku area of Miyako Island city. The region is experiencing a surge in rental demand driven by an influx of tourists and a critical housing shortage, partly due to the booming resort development sector. Current trends indicate that the rental market is under pressure, leading to increased rents and the potential for significant property value appreciation in the future.
The property is currently functioning as employee housing for workers involved in large resort developments, providing a stable income stream. With a proposed investment term of 12 months, the fund aims for a pre-tax annual yield of 8% that combines rental income (income gain) and profits from a future property sale (capital gain).
Active Rental Demand in Central Miyako Island
Situated in the heart of Miyako Island city, the Hirara urban area accounts for around 70% of the city’s population. Its bustling shopping district, known as Hirara Town, is conveniently close to essential amenities, including government offices, banks, and supermarkets. Numerous dining establishments and hotels also cater to both the locals and the growing number of tourists, making it an attractive location for property investment.
Moreover, the property is approximately a 7-minute drive from Miyako Airport and only about 8 minutes from the Irabu Bridge connecting to Irabu Island, enhancing its appeal for visitors from outside the island.
Strategic Exit Plans for Investors
Levechy manages the fund by balancing income generation with flexible operational strategies. As part of this approach, there is a possibility for refunds if the conditions are deemed favorable. This refund mechanism refers to the prospective assembly of a new fund using the property after the original fund’s investment term ends, thereby ensuring value enhancement and offering new investment opportunities to its investors.
Investors should be aware that potential refunds will be executed based on the stipulations in the real estate-specific joint investment contracts, and may necessitate an agreement process conducted via email or other communication methods post the investment term.
