From $500 to your first dunum: how shared ownership actually works

The single most common question we get is: what exactly do I own when I participate with $500? The answer is straightforward once you understand how each Crowdious project is structured.

One project, one entity

For every property listed on Crowdious, we set up a dedicated legal entity whose only purpose is to hold and manage that specific plot. We do not pool participants across projects. Your $500 in the Kobar Heights project does not get mixed with someone else's $1,000 in the Birzeit Hillside project — they sit in different entities with different bank accounts.

Pro-rata equity, not a token or coupon

Your participation buys you a documented equity share in that entity, proportional to what you contributed. If the entity holds a $100,000 plot and you contributed $500, you own 0.5% of that entity. That share is recorded, signed, and reflected in the entity's shareholder ledger. It is not a token, not a coupon, not a contractual claim — it is real corporate equity.

How the money moves

When you participate, your contribution goes directly into the project's bank account at a licensed Palestinian bank. Crowdious does not hold your money in an intermediary wallet. We coordinate, document, and report — the bank account is the source of truth for what the project holds.

How you get paid

When the project exits — whether through sale, partial sale, development, or a long-hold-and-distribute decision — proceeds are distributed pro-rata to your share. If the entity sells the plot for $130,000 and you held 0.5%, you receive $650 minus a 1.5% exit fee. The timing depends on the project; expected holds are 2–5 years for most of our current listings.

What you don't have to do

You don't have to manage the property. You don't have to deal with title transfers, surveyors, or local authorities. You don't have to vote on day-to-day operating decisions. You hold equity and receive proceeds — the entity does the work.
