HOW WEALTHY ARE YOU? UNDERSTANDING TRUE WEALTH

When the Love of money sets in, money becomes an idol, and evil becomes the norm. The Love of money brings the desire to do anything good or evil to gather money.

How your money can achieve two important goals

Whenever you buy into a property on the GrowMyHome website, there are two benefits. The first benefit is that you become the owner of an income-earning asset that will earn you a return on investment. The second benefit is that your money goes on to make a social impact. Here’s how that works. Profit GrowMyHome brings verified properties to your fingertips. We eliminate the risks and make it safe for you to invest in these properties. Your investments into these properties enable you to earn from the properties. When these properties are rented out, the rental proceeds are shared with you in proportion to your ownership level. For instance, if you own 100% of the property, you get 100% of the net rental income. If you own 5% of the property, you earn 5% of the rental income and so on. In addition, the properties gains value through upgrades and value appreciation and over time these upgrades add a lot of value to the property. A time comes when the property is sold for profit. You also get to earn very decent returns from this. Impact For each successful deal, you make profit and we at GrowMyHome also make our own share of profits. We use a portion of our profits to develop new houses. These houses will be rented or sold to buyers and tenants as affordable homes, making it possible for individuals and families to rent or own a decent roof over their heads. Furthermore, while we are developing these houses, we employ workers from the communities to carry out a wide range of roles, tasks and skills. Each house we build creates between 100 to 200 temporary jobs, and groups of houses create some permanent jobs too. Also, housing projects create income for suppliers of building materials and services. This too, helps families put food on their tables. The more houses we can build the more families we can support, and the more communities we can develop. That’s impact! So in essence your investments create returns for you, and enable the development of affordable Housing for our communities.

Let’s talk about your money.

What happens to my money after I have invested on the GrowMyHome website? This is a valid question for users on the GrowMyHome platform who would love to buy into a real estate deal. GrowMyHome places a high premium on the safety and security of our members. Funds paid into a property listed on our website are managed by GIG Wealth (Pty) Ltd, a registered fund Manager in South Africa. This ensures that every process undertaken in our system is verified independently. The first step every potential property buyer or real estate investor undertakes on our platform is verification. Only verified users can buy a property or participate in a real estate development. Verification ensures your safety. It keeps out unknown users, fraudulent persons, and funds with questionable sources. We take it further. After a member has been verified, they can now buy into a property on our website or invest in a real estate project. Once the verified member makes a payment, the money goes to a special fund management account managed by GIG Wealth. Our fund managers are licensed and mandated to provide independent functions for GrowMyHome.   What exactly do the fund managers do? This means that when members buy into a property deal, the money goes into a special fund account that is overseen by GIG Wealth. From this fund account the money is paid to the property. GIG Wealth ensures that the member is allocated the relevant documentation to back their investment. During the life cycle of the property, Gig Wealth works with GrowMyHome to ensure that all the necessary financial reports are obtained at the right time.
