Introduction to Vessel

⁠

Vessel⁠

is a "home equity exchange" that lets owners of residential properties sell "shares" of the value of their properties to investors, who get

income⁠

and

appreciation⁠

in return.

For property owners, Vessel is an

alternative⁠

to getting a

home equity loan⁠

selling their property⁠

. For people with money to invest, it is an

alternative⁠

buying rental properties⁠

investing in REITs⁠

The following are the key components of how Vessel investments work:

Appreciation & Equity Sharing⁠

⁠

Interim Home Value⁠

⁠

Yield & Income Payments⁠

⁠

Conversion of Income to Equity⁠

⁠

Home Value Estimation⁠

⁠

These concepts are all brought together through our

financial model⁠

Other components worth understanding:

Legal structure of Vessel investments⁠

⁠

Owner-cased value increase or reduction⁠

⁠

Maximum contract length & hold period⁠

⁠

Recourse in case of owner noncompliance⁠

⁠

To offer a rough idea of how these investments work, see the example below, which shows results in different scenarios. As can be seen, as the property value (appreciation) increases, the annual payments and proceeds to investors from sale increase as well.
