Investor protection

Your money and your property are always yours

BaseLots is a technology platform, not a bank or custodian. We never hold your funds, never control your tokens, and never stand between you and your investment. Here's exactly how that works.

You own your tokens

Your property tokens live in your personal wallet. BaseLots cannot move, freeze, or access them.

Rent arrives automatically

Smart contracts send your share of rental income directly to your wallet every month. No manual steps required.

Everything is on-chain

Every ownership record, every distribution, every transaction is publicly verifiable on the Arbitrum blockchain.

How your rental income flows

Tenant pays rent

Tenant pays rent in US dollars through a standard payment portal. Nothing unusual for them.

Funds convert automatically

Rent is automatically processed and sent to the property's smart contract on Arbitrum for secure, transparent distribution.

No human handles your money

Smart contract splits the income

The contract automatically deducts the property management fee, a small maintenance reserve, and the BaseLots platform fee. All percentages are visible before you invest.

Your share goes directly to your wallet

Your rental income is automatically deposited to a secure digital wallet. You can transfer it to your bank account - transfers are free or may incur a small fee depending on the method. BaseLots never touches these funds.

Straight to your wallet

BaseLots never does this

Hold your investment funds
Custody your property tokens
Manually distribute rental income
Commingle funds across properties

You always have this

Full ownership of your tokens
On-chain proof of your investment
Automatic monthly income
Transparent fee breakdown per property

Fully regulated under U.S. securities law

BaseLots raises are conducted under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) through a FINRA-registered funding portal. Every offering is filed with the SEC. Your investment is a legally recognized security, not an unregistered token.

What if BaseLots shuts down?

Your tokens still exist on the Arbitrum blockchain. They don’t depend on BaseLots servers.
Each property is owned by its own independent LLC, legally separate from BaseLots.
Smart contracts continue operating autonomously, and rent distributions don’t stop.
Your rental income continues depositing to your personal digital wallet regardless of platform status.

Common questions

Nobody at BaseLots. When you invest, your funds go into a third-party escrow account held by our FINRA-registered funding portal partner. BaseLots never has access to those funds.

In your own personal wallet, not on BaseLots servers. Your tokens are stored on the Arbitrum blockchain and only you control them.

Automatically. Each month, a smart contract calculates your share based on how many tokens you hold and deposits it directly to your secure digital wallet. You can transfer it to your bank account - transfers are free or may incur a small fee depending on the method.

Every property listing shows a full fee breakdown before you invest: property management fee, maintenance reserve percentage, and the BaseLots platform fee. These are deducted automatically by the smart contract before your share is calculated. No surprises.

No. Your tokens are ERC-3643 securities on the Arbitrum blockchain. BaseLots operates the compliance layer required by securities law for transfer restrictions, but cannot seize, move, or freeze your tokens.

Reg CF is a U.S. securities law that allows everyday investors, not just wealthy accredited investors, to invest in private companies and real estate offerings. BaseLots raises are filed with the SEC and conducted through a FINRA-registered funding portal, giving you the same legal protections as any regulated investment.

No. Real estate investments are not FDIC insured, and neither are digital wallets. FDIC insurance covers bank deposits only. Your protection comes from the legal structure (SPV LLC per property), on-chain ownership records, and Reg CF investor protections including the right to cancel your investment before the raise closes.

If a property is vacant, there is no rental income to distribute for that period. Your tokens still represent your ownership stake in the property and its underlying value. Each property maintains a maintenance reserve fund in the smart contract for exactly these situations.
