WHAT IS MAJORITY?
MAJORITY is a private, action project, fueled by a network of corporations and professionals, focused on using real estate and investments to bridge the gap between people, equality and fundamental freedoms. (Safety. Wealth. Health.) Our investments and ventures aid the repair of broken communities as well as, political, social and economic systems.
WHY WE EXIST
In an effort to fortify and build and generate our own freedoms, we find creative genius in further developing those freedoms with others.
WHY WE ARE NOT, NON-PROFIT
Isn’t it better to be non-profit? Not necessarily and here’s why:
01
For-profit ventures are often the sponsors of non-profit companies.
02
Being a for-profit industry increases flexibility
03
We are a private entity and have no obligations to share holders
04
For profit companies require self-sustainability by products and services that must work and stand up to competition
05
People often only find value in that which has a price.
06
The required generation of selfsustainability makes us more accountable with each dollar.
For profit companies often do not rely on donations. This sets the platform for accountability, efficiency and customer service. In order to exist, we must deliver and when social service is placed above the bottom line, it creates a barrier against corruption, fraud or waste.
Economists agree: The best way to improve life is to generate wealth and the best way to generate wealth is to invest, which in itself is somewhat opposite of the concept of not generating profit.
What does Profit Mean? Profit = surplus earnings not needed to substantiate the existence of an initiative. Yet, we place social reform within the equation of our sustainability and by doing that we put People before Profit.
We like to think of being “for profit” as being a seed. A farmer plants a seed in the ground, not to return a seed, but to return greater than what was given. When a seed works together with soil, water and sun – – an orange tree sprouts. Within that orange are more seeds. Eat the orange; plant more seeds and those seeds are planted to produce more trees. Over time, this process (called compounding growth) generates a wealth of oranges in an orchard that can feed a village, a city, a continent or the world.
In our model, there is no profit until those who are planters, become beneficiaries of their own orchards.
4 REASONS MAJORITY IS A BETTER OPTION than standard charitable contributions
It took 20 years of working and volunteering in the non-profit sector to realize that the model of donations is flawed.
The Charity model diminishes the requirement for success and blocks the obligation for improvement: Success, ingenuity, upward mobility and RESULTS. These are required when people are expecting their investment back, PLUS Interest. This places a level of fire and commitment underneath an effort that is unmatched by non-committal donations.
01
Majority has found a way to grow wealth, while doing social good and improving lives.
02
We are unaware of any other community outreach program that expands the wealth of their donors and returns their contributions, with interest.
03
Participants are able to grow toward a holding portfolio of one million dollars or greater in assets and $50 to $100K / per year in gross residual cash flow.
04
We encourage prospects to scour the globe for better opportunities and let us know what they find. Each feedback is an opportunity to make our plan better.
3 REASONS MAJORITY IS A BETTER OPTION than standard Investments
01
Interest earned is greater than most standard investments.
Did you know that savings accounts lose interest each year? 401K’s, IRA’s and Traditional stocks all earn up to 8% on average. Majority investors start at an assetsecured, 8% to 13% return
02
Your investment is asset-backed,
secured and fortified for return
03
Real Estate is the only investment that shelters you
from taxation.
Real estate is also the only investment that offers triple returns on zero cash. E.g. Return on cash you’ve withdrawn from your investment, return in appreciation and returns by tax savings.
FUNDAMENTAL VALUES

Growth, For Community, For Sustainability
HOW DOES IT WORK
You heard the Why we do what we do in the introduction, but here is the how:
Many times, without a dollar to their name, four to seven investors came together with short-term, no interest one-year credit cards and a mere $5,000.
A group like this put their funds together to total $32,000.
And upon finding a solid investment, The Majority Venture partners with this group and applies their funds, to purchase a broken home for $32,000.
Majority, then invests an additional $50,000 to make the home like new and immediately upon completion, the project is worth $175,000.
The $175,000 is called an After Rehab Value, and means, (all-together) for an
investment of $82,000, the result was an asset that became worth $175,000.
($175,000 minus $82,000 = a profit of $93,000), which is technically called “equity” until the home (or Asset) is sold or transferred into cash.
In other words, we spent $82,000 to make (first) Our $82,000 back, PLUS an
additional $93,000. That Return of 93,000 on the $82,000 we spent is
called “Return on Investment) and our return on investment was 113% meaning:
We more than doubled our original investment.
But the cash profits continue even further. The equity we built ($93,000) with our rehab efforts is real, and the cash within that equity can be thought of like a cash in a safe or like a goose and her golden eggs in a safety deposit box. Except this safety deposit box pays you to hold your cash and the goose lays another golden egg once / per year.
This happens by way of real property value and land appreciation, which can sometimes
average between 3% to 5% per year. The extra egg comes about by cash rental revenues,
which means: while leaving the cash, goose and eggs in the safe, we leased the home to
a renter at a below-market rental rate. Why below market?
- BECAUSE WE CAN
- RENTING BELOW MARKET, KEEPS RENTERS LONGER AND HAPPIER
And after 8 years, the renters has:
1. completely paid off all the cash we spent on buying and renovating the home.
2. The home has appreciated in value to almost $250,000 and
3. Our equity has ballooned from $93,000 to $250,000.
4. We also collected almost net $30,000 in cash from rental profits.
Each person who spent $5,000 now owns their share of $280,000 (Eight times their original investment).
Still, the cash flows from rents keep going and you have an endless supply of golden eggs as long as you care for the goose.
This is the beauty of real estate investing. It is far more possible, when people work together with a reliable source, and when they do it in mass, they can move mountains.
OH BUT WAIT…WHAT ABOUT THE RENTER RENTING BELOW MARKET?
Well, with such a great deal on their rental home, they were able to finally save up enough
to buy their own home after just five years and the power of paying it forward works two fold.
*Split of profits were simplified for the sake of illustration. Often, resulting profits are split in the same percentage as going-in amounts invested. E.g. if an investor puts in
50% of the total rehab costs, their split of the profits would be, 50%.
*Partnership only available to private, elite members.
WHY DON’T MORE PEOPLE COOPERATIVELY INVEST?
Actually, many people do. Millions of people make millions of dollars each year by passively investing in various avenues. However, the people who invest versus the people who do not invest are almost completely defined by education levels. When you know better, you do better. It is at that point, we begin to question: Why are those that are most in need of investing have only access to education that is tied to a community’s income levels and property taxes? Impoverished areas often receive the least progressive education when they are most in need of ways to upcycle, invest and rebuild their communities. We aim to combat that.
