Getting Started

What is KOPA?

KOPA transforms income producing properties into dividend stocks. Essentially, it is the easiest and most accessible way to buy and sell fractional shares of cash flowing real estate. For Example:

  • Investing in a share of your local shopping mall
  • Buying a part of your favorite team's stadium
  • Purchasing a slice of your favorite vacation property

What's more, while investors share in any property appreciation they also receive quarterly dividend payments from the rent generated by their properties.

You can find more information about how investors can use KOPA here.

KOPA can also be used to extract capital from your existing cash-flowing property assets without forfeiting your rights.  For Example:

  • Offering shares of your music venue to the audiences that attends  its shows
  • Splitting ownership of a coffee shop with the patrons that stop by regularly
  • Selling shares of your flower shop to the community so you can open another one the next town over

By fractionalizing a minority stake and listing a property on the KOPA Marketplace sponsors can invite everyone to join them in ownership, redefining success as a shared journey. Learn more about how Sponsors can use KOPA here.

Fees & KOPA

Fees allow KOPA to be able to provide the services and provide the ongoing security to make sure that the properties you are invested in run in the best manner possible. As an Ownership Platform, KOPA is focused on providing the best and growing features for a low cost that is simple, transparent, and easy-to-understand. For that reason, we are proud to list fees on the platform here:

Kopa Fee
Every quarter renters pay rent, property remits ownership stake to Kopa investors. Kopa charges a maximum of 2%  per year (or 0.5% per quarter), and only if your property makes money. If there a period of no cash flow for you, KOPA does not charge.

Transaction Fee
This is related to blockchain transactions and is not charged by Kopa directly. It is paid directly to the blockchain and is usually less than 1 cent.

No Hidden Fees
If you have seen other platforms, you may have realized that they charge a low headline rate, but then charge various fees that become quite complicated to calculate. Such fees include acquisition fees, sales fees, construction management fees, property management fees, brokerage fees, and others. KOPA does NOT engage in any additional fees other than the ones listed above.

Buying & Selling on KOPA

Are there fees or minimums to start investing?

Our mission at Kopa is to make investing in real estate accessible to everyone, and as such the minimum required to make an investment is only $5 USD.

What are fractional property shares?

Fractional property shares are slices of the equity in a property that allow you to own a piece of the property at an amount that you can afford. These slices get the same economic rights as any other property owner, so you get the same economic benefit no matter how much you invest.

How does buying and selling shares work?

Once all the original series shares of a property are sold, you can list your shares for sale, allowing other investors to buy them from you. Just remember that your sale will only happen after all the original series shares are sold. When you decide to sell, you can choose between market orders or limit orders for added flexibility.

How do Kopa fees work?

Kopa Fee: Every quarter renters pay rent, property remits ownership stake to Kopa investors. Kopa charges an annualized 2% maximum fee. No fees during periods of no cash flow, and zero charges when selling your share.

Transaction Fee: This fee is related to blockchain transactions and is not charged by Kopa directly. It is paid directly to the blockchain and is usually less than 1 cent.

Community & Impact

What is Property Impact?

Property Impact is a core aspect of Kopa's commitment to responsible investing. We understand that real estate can have a far-reaching influence on both the environment and the communities it serves. In our dedicated ""Property Impact"" section, investors can explore how each property goes beyond its financial returns to create positive change.

We use distinct badges to provide insights into how each property contributes positively.

  • Eco-Saver: Properties that use resources (energy, water, and waste) more efficiently than the local average.
  • Local Business: Properties with a majority of local/small business tenants instead of large corporations.
  • Historically Underinvested: Properties situated in areas historically overlooked for investment due to factors like redlining.
  • Community Enhancer: Properties offering open spaces, events, or services that benefit the local community.
  • Affordable Mission: Properties intentionally offering rents below market rates to promote affordability or community benefits.
  • MWVBE Ownership: Properties with majority ownership by minorities, women, veterans.
  • Mom & Pop Ownership: Properties with majority ownership by families or small-scale owners, not professional funds.

Security & Privacy

How does KOPA keep my money safe?

Because KOPA uses blockchain, all your money is within your own account. KOPA uses secure code that is verified by thousands of computers to send your ownership and money to your account. The blockchains we have used have never been hacked.

How does KOPA protect my identify and documentation?

KOPA does not provide or sell your information to anyone for commercial purposes.

KOPA does use identity verification experts that ensure you are who you say you are and not on any anti-money laundering lists (to screen out terrorists,  people who are known to do illegal activity by the U.S. government, and others who would like to take illegal money and "wash" it  by investing in properties and taking  out their proceeds). We do this at initial investment to make sure that everyone on KOPA Market is safe and can legally do business.

How does KOPA request personal information and documentation?

KOPA requests your identification verification when you make your first investment. You can enter your information to  ensure you are verified and not on an anti-money laudering list.

Is my KOPA balance insured?

Most people typically think of FDIC insurance when placing their money in an account. FDIC inurance is only for banks accounts that meet very specific requirements and are only allowed to use that capital in very specific ways.

However, FDIC insurance does not apply to any investment where someone makes a choice into what they put their money into, including big stocks like Apple and Caterpillar all the way down to individual home purchases.

So, because KOPA allows you to choose your investments, it cannot be FDIC insured. However, by it being in a blockchain wallet that is only connected to you and those you provide access to (that even KOPA does not have ability to change), your security is decentralized an far away from a centralized attack.

Are my property shares insured?

KOPA Market requires adequate insurance be on the properties that come on the platform based on normal conditions for the area.

So, if something happens to a property on KOPA that is in those policies, then the property insurance will be used.

Who can see my KOPA investments?

You can see and monitor your investments on KOPA Market at any time.

How can I access a copy of my personal data on file?

You can access that information

How does investing on KOPA work?

Invest with US Dollars from your bank account or debit card. Or you can invest with supported stablecoins in crypto ($US Dollar Coin or $USDC)

You invest in increments of $5 in whatever properties are available. When a deal closes, you get your share of ownership into a Web 3 wallet and they are yours.

Every quarter, you get distributions in the same percentage of your ownership. You get them for as long as you own the property share.

Wallet

Banks & Cards FAQs

You can connect to KOPA Market and invest using your checking or savings account. KOPA works with leading partners that verify your bank information and ensure you have enough capital to not be overdrawn.

Can I invest with debit card?

You can also invest in KOPA Market via a debit card.

Can I invest with a credit card?

KOPA does not accept credit cards because their unpaid interest rates are high enough that they generally are much higher than real estate returns, and so using credit to own more on margin could actually make an investor worse off. That is the opposite of ownership, so we only allow debit cards.

Is a Wallet necessary to start investing?

Users need to set up a Web3 wallet or connect your existing crypto wallet to Kopa which only takes about 1 min to start investing at Kopa market. This is because your proof of share purchase will be stored in your wallet as NFTs, and your distribution is automatically deposited into your wallet every quarter.

A.I. Enhancements

Kopa Hub takes property information gathered from application submissions and documentation, then enhances it with data from online sources, third-party APIs, municipal records, and relevant news. This comprehensive approach equips you with a full context on the property, saving hours of research and ensuring you have all critical insights to make confident decisions.

Here’s how it works:

• Property Validation: Verifies the property’s authenticity using sources like USPS, Google Maps, Google Reviews, and Yelp. This includes street-view visuals, allowing you to explore the surroundings and confirm the property is accurately represented.

• Asset Validation: Confirms that the property’s zoning matches its use. Using third-party data (e.g., ReGrid), Kopa Hub checks zoning classifications to prevent issues, such as buying a retail space in a residential zone, which could pose compliance risks.

• Public Municipal Records: Automatically checks for outstanding taxes or liens on the property. This prevents surprises related to unpaid taxes, potential forfeiture, or added liabilities, ensuring you’re aware of the property’s financial standing before proceeding.

• News Insights: Scans for recent news within a defined radius, providing relevant local updates from the past 18 months. This includes crime rates, new business developments, or infrastructure projects, helping you assess neighborhood dynamics and market potential. Planned Enhancements (coming soon):

• Area, Market, and Submarket Analysis: Automated market summaries that cover the larger geographical area, market, and specific submarket for comprehensive regional insights, ensuring you’re well-informed about the property’s broader location context.

• Key Property-Specific Stats: Provides key data points by property type, such as school ratings for residential properties or proximity to public transit for office spaces, saving you the time of consulting multiple external sources.

• Investment Highlights: Using generative AI, Kopa Hub can analyze all data to create a concise, persuasive summary of why the property offers value as an investment, highlighting the property’s unique benefits and growth potential.

• With Kopa Hub, you can instantly access detailed, actionable information about any property, letting you focus on strategy rather than data-gathering.

Third Party Reporting Ordering + Tracking

Managing third-party providers is a critical aspect of property due diligence. Traditionally, you would track appraisers, environmental consultants, insurance advisors, and engineers through a checklist, typically in Word or Excel, and coordinate via emails and calls. You’d have to manually document deadlines, primary contacts, and follow-up reminders—straightforward at first but complex to manage when handling multiple deals simultaneously. With Kopa Hub, you no longer need to juggle multiple tools or worry about losing track of deadlines. Our platform streamlines vendor management, tracking deadlines and contacts automatically, sending timely reminders, and logging all activity. You’ll always know when a report is due, who to follow up with, and when an overdue task requires a nudge. For companies, Kopa Hub offers an institutional vendor management feature that lets you maintain a list of approved providers and track their past performance, making it easy to identify reliable partners and transfer vendor insights across teams seamlessly.

Thinking + Next Steps

Overall if you think of steps, a First Year/beginner Analyst would be someone who's out of college or MBA and you ask them to look through a report. They'd ask you what they should focus on, and you'd tell them. Then they'd read through the entire report and diligently report to you the key things that you asked for. As they progress more, you can give them different types of documents and ask them to fill in what information is needed. But as you go forward, you will ask more of an Analyst. You'll ask them "ok so you've told me the 'what' is in there, but why didn't you tell me the 'so what?' I need you to tell me if there are issues and if there's any follow up needed." That would be a more experienced/2nd year (or later) Analyst - someone who can actually do something and tell you next steps and what else might be needed for you to have a good outcome. A great Analyst would have this information, package it up to you in context, provide the contact information and perhaps even write the email draft for you to send requesting the next step. Now imagine we have that, and it can do all that for you based on the information that's uploaded. It takes out the guesswork and you can just review and send.

Overview + Pipeline Tracking

When managing multiple deals, staying organized is essential. With Kopa Hub Overview + Pipeline Tracking, you have a centralized solution that allows you to track each deal from start to finish. Our platform provides a comprehensive overview of all tasks required, enabling you to manage each deal's unique steps and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. You can monitor your progress across the deal pipeline, see the next actionable steps, and review your status at a glance. An invaluable tool for larger organizations or frequent users handling multiple deals, allowing for efficient multitasking and visibility into the entire portfolio.
