  • Earn while you wait

    Your tokens earn a share of the rent from the fund's homes, starting in your first month.

  • Keeps pace with prices

    The fund owns real homes. When home prices rise, your tokens rise with them.

  • Time and commitment

    Priority points reward how long you've held and how much of your down payment you've saved.

  • Save at your pace

    Change, pause or top up your monthly amount any time. It never costs you points.

  • Yield that lowers your rent

    Once you move in, the yield from your tokens comes straight off your rent.

  • Market-value buyouts

    You buy the rest of your home at its market value, a slice at a time. Fair to everyone in the fund.

  • No riba, ever

    No loans and no interest. Returns come from rent and real homes.

  • Reviewed before launch

    The full structure goes to an independent Sharia board before anyone can join.

From saving
to owning

Four steps, no loan and no interest. Your money works for you the whole way.

Save and earn

Buy home tokens each month, any amount, and change it whenever you like. Your tokens earn rental yield and move with home prices.

A queue that rewards patience and commitment

Your place is set by priority points, not by who has the most money. Every month you hold earns points, and saving toward your down payment earns them faster.

  1. 1

    Every month you hold earns points

    Time in the fund always counts. Sell all your tokens and your points reset.

  2. 2

    Saving more earns them faster

    You earn up to 1 point a month, depending on how much of your down payment you've saved. Holding more than you need earns nothing extra, so money alone can't buy the front of the line.

  3. 3

    Ready to buy, then first in line

    To be called, your tokens must cover a 20% down payment plus closing costs and taxes, and you need to pass an affordability check. Among members who are ready, the most points go first.

  4. 4

    Your tokens set your budget

    Your down payment decides how much home you can buy. The fund co-funds the other 80%.

Renting, a mortgage, or Apato

Renting builds nothing. A mortgage builds ownership but charges interest. Apato is designed so your savings earn while you wait, and you own without a loan.

Along the way you'd earn about $8,512 in yield. Once you move in, your rent starts around $1,376 a month after your yield, and falls from there.

Illustration, not a projection. Assumes tokens yield 4% a year, home prices rise 3% a year, a 20% down payment plus 4% closing costs, and rent of 5% a year of the home's value. Before moving in you keep renting where you are; after, your budget is that rent plus your savings. Yields aren't guaranteed and tokens can fall in value.

Two sides, one fund

Households save toward homes. Patient capital co-funds them. Both share in the same homes' rent and value, and neither side earns interest.

Apato is at the idea and research stage. No product is available and we are not accepting money. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, fund interest or token. Figures, yields and app screens are illustrations, not projections or promises; tokens can fall in value. Any Sharia structure will be reviewed by an independent Sharia board before launch.
