IzMaCo Investments, Inc., is a start-up social enterprise that focuses on investments in innovative small businesses and community developments that foster economic growth.
First and foremost, IzMaCo seeks to open investment opportunities to the public by tokenizing real estate in the form of digital (cryptocurrency) tokens. Tokens, being highly liquid assets, are easier to buy and sell in the market than illiquid real estate. Since the real estate industry predominantly deals with high-value assets, tokenization will eliminate the need to buy or sell the entire property. This tokenizing of investment opportunities makes them attractive to a wide range of investors and provides long-term sustainability of the business model.
IzMaCo will invest in and manage real estate assets along with real estate-related securities. Securities issued by other real estate companies may also be bought using the funds for investment, in exchange for negotiated transactions, or to redeem value for bridge and mezzanine loans.
IzMaCo’s pilot properties are located in Jacksonville, NC. The City of Jacksonville is the commercial hub of Onslow County and home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. The City has grown rapidly since 1941, when Camp Lejeune was established, and possesses a rich history dating back to 1731. Jacksonville is growing fast, and the expanding demographic and industries have turned it into a hotspot for real estate development.
The stable military population will always create a demand for rental properties. But as many homes within the city of Jacksonville are older, dilapidated, outdated, or unkempt, much of the population is moving out of the city.
Anticipating continuous population growth and a continuing preference of military personnel to live close to the base, IzMaCo will focus on purchasing distressed properties in Jacksonville and rehabbing them into high demand rentals.
IzMaCo, however, is not solely an innovative real estate investment company. Through its business model, IzMaCo provides this city, and others like it, with affordable living space and at the same time fosters economic development, which in turn increases the demand for rentals. Its non-profit arm will also run various development programs, such as the Homeless Veteran Rehab Program and Domestic Violence Rehabilitation Program, among others. Funds for these programs will be raised through fundraising events, donations and sponsorship by charitable organizations. The success of these programs will in turn improve the economic outlook and available workforce in the targeted geographic region.
IzMaCo Investments will stay true to its vision of contributing to the local community through strategically made investments. We hope to uplift the living standard of the community as a whole with a special focus on veterans and underserved individuals.
