PY - General Terms & Risk Factors
General Terms for PYs
Definitions
- Prop Yields (PYs): PYs are symbolic units representing a share of the net rental income generated by real estate properties managed by Propvance. They do not confer ownership rights over any asset or property.
- Symbolic Nature: PYs are a crowdfunding mechanism that enables participants to receive discretionary gifts based on the performance of properties in our portfolio.
Purpose and Symbolism
- PYs are designed to provide participants with a simplified way to engage with real estate income streams without the complexities of direct ownership.
- They symbolize a contribution to the Propvance ecosystem and do not imply any legal or financial claim over assets.
Gifting Policy and Discretionary Nature
- Gifts associated with PYs are voluntary and not guaranteed. They depend on the financial performance of properties, operational costs, and other factors.
- Gifts are distributed at the sole discretion of Propvance and are subject to adjustments based on prevailing conditions.
PY Lifecycle and Expiry
- 20-Year Validity: PYs expire 20 years after issuance.
- Declining Value: Starting from the 6th year, the symbolic value of PYs decreases annually, reflecting their diminishing contribution to the portfolio.
- Expired PYs do not entitle holders to further gifts or any other financial benefits.
Refund Policy
- A potential refund of the original donation amount is possible after a minimum holding period of 5 years. Refunds are:
- Discretionary: Based on the operational and financial health of Propvance.
- Non-Guaranteed: Subject to applicable processing times and policies.
Amendments and Notifications
- Propvance reserves the right to amend these terms or the PY framework to comply with legal, operational, or strategic requirements.
- Participants will be notified of any significant changes through official communication channels.
Risk Factors
Operational Risks
- Vacancies: Income fluctuations due to unoccupied properties.
- Maintenance Costs: Unexpected expenses for property upkeep and repairs.
- Management Decisions: Operational strategies that may impact net income.
Financial Risks
- Market Fluctuations: Changes in real estate market conditions may affect rental income and property valuation.
- Devaluation: PYs lose symbolic value over time, and there is no guarantee of maintaining the same level of discretionary gifts.
Limitations of Discretionary Gifts
- Gifts are calculated after deducting operational costs such as taxes, maintenance, and administrative expenses.
- There is no fixed or predictable income, as gifts depend entirely on the portfolio’s performance.

- Regulatory Changes: Adjustments in local or international regulations could impact operational processes.
