Solomartel
Solomartel is an online real estate investment fund. The company provides publicly available real estate investments which are organized in funds. The funds are investment products in which private and institutional investors can invest and thus own participating stakes in. These participation stakes will give the fund participants ownership over the actual real estate owned by the fund. Participants will then be receiving cashflow returns derived from the income produced by the real estate assets in a similar manner to Real estate investment trusts.[1]
