Legend Real Estate Trust is Live on Equivesto!

Exciting news! Legend Real Estate Trust is officially live. 

Watch our announcement video here! 

Now is your moment to begin building effortless wealth through high-value real estate investments with Legend Real Estate Trust.

START INVESTING TODAY >

 

As we kick off this campaign, our primary goal is to secure funds for the acquisition of our flagship property, 144 Lucan Avenue, in Waterloo, Ontario. 

With your support, we aim to establish a foundation for long-term success and prosperity, expanding our trust’s portfolio as we grow as a company. 

 

Driving Growth and Value

At Legend Real Estate Trust, we aim to deliver targeted annual returns of 15- 20%* through two key avenues:

1) Cash Flow: Investors purchase shares at an entry price, participating in our diverse property portfolio’s rental income. With our 8% Preferred Model, investors receive their returns first, ahead of Legend Operations Inc. Any surplus is then shared between investors and Legend Operations Inc. We also offer a Dividend Re-investment Program (DRIP), allowing investors to reinvest cash flow directly into Legend Real Estate Trust at a discounted price.

2) Equity: As mortgages on properties are paid down, and the market values rise, the overall equity in our portfolio grows, translating into higher share values realized upon redemption. 

Through these avenues, we provide investors with multiple ways to realize robust returns, capitalizing on both immediate cash flow opportunities and long-term equity growth.

To review the terms of the investment offering, visit our campaign page on Equivesto

*Targeted returns of 15-20% are not guaranteed and involve risk, including loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results.  

 

Why Choose Legend Real Estate Trust?

> Access to luxury real estate in Tier-1 Ontario markets. 

> A passive, impactful investment solution offering 
long-term growth.

Your Top Investment Questions Answered

We understand that investing in real estate can raise some questions. Here are the most common questions investors have asked us, and we’ve answered.

 

Investing with Registered Funds 

 

I want to invest with my registered funds, but I only see an option for cash. What can I do?

If you're investing with registered funds, the Equivesto system defaults to cash. Email support@equivesto.com to adjust your account. Be sure to specify your account type (TFSA, LIRA, RRSP, etc.) and mention if you have an existing Olympia Trust account.

 

If I’m investing with registered funds, am I required to open and use an Olympia Trust account?

Yes, you can use an existing Olympia Trust account or open a new one, either way, you will need to open one to invest. Opening an account with Olympia Trust is built into the Equivesto process, they will help you through the process and assist with account setup.

 

I want to invest with some cash and some registered funds, is this allowed?

Yes, absolutely. Communicate this information to the Equivesto team at support@equivesto.com, and they will support you through both transactions.

 

My spouse and I both want to invest. Do we each need an Equivesto account?

Yes, you both need to open separate Equivesto accounts and invest individually.

 

Timing and DRIP

 

If my funds aren’t available yet, can I invest later in Legend?

Absolutely, Legend is an evergreen fund, which means we will continuously grow our portfolio and raise funds. It’s always advantageous to invest as soon as you can to benefit from the returns and get in from the get-go.

 

How does the DRIP program work? Can I change my mind about the DRIP program after initiating the investment?

Yes, you can change your participation in the DRIP program at any time. DRIP stands for ‘Dividend Reinvestment Program’. If you select this option, your quarterly cash flow payment (projected 8% annual preferred return) will be reinvested into Legend.

Note: Targeted returns are not guaranteed and involve risk, including loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

 

Costs and Fees

 

What are my ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses to invest?

There will be withdrawal fees if you invest with a registered account ranging from $200 to $400 plus tax. For an Olympia Trust account, plan for roughly $300 plus tax for the first year, and then $200 plus tax annually.

 

Is there a fee to sign up on Equivesto?

No, there is no fee to sign up on Equivesto.

 

Are there any fees if I decide to exit the investment before Year 5?

Here are the redemption fees: 

  • Before Year 1: 6%
  • Before Year 2: 5%
  • Before Year 3: 4%
  • Before Year 4: 3%
  • Before Year 5: 2%

 

Investment Details and Reporting

 

Where can I review the Offering Memorandum (OM)?

The OM, Declaration of Trust, Subscription Agreement, and 144 Lucan property appraisal report are all available for your review on the Equivesto website. You can review all documents before committing to your investment.

 

Can we add a beneficiary or successor?

It's recommended that you complete your estate planning separately. Including your investment with Legend Real Estate Trust in your will and testament is advisable.

 

How often will Legend report to investors?

Legend will provide quarterly reporting to investors.

 

Is the maximum annual ROI 20%? Or could it be higher, considering there’s no guarantee of returns? 

Yes, there is potential for your investment to be greater than 20%. However, our projections are 15-20% annual ROI.

Note: Targeted returns are not guaranteed and involve risk, including loss of principal. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

 

Can we invest in Legend if we reside in Quebec, even with registered funds?

Yes, Canadians from across the country can invest if they meet Eligible or Accredited investor status. 

Note: The Offering Memorandum is provided in English only.

 

Can I share this investment opportunity with friends and family?

Certainly, feel free to share information about Legend with your friends and family. We are here to answer all their questions and help them through the investing process. They can reach out to us at Amanda@Legendinvestments.ca or book a call with our team for any questions they may have.

 

When can I expect to see my projected 8% Preferred returns?

Once the building reaches full optimization, which is expected by the end of Year 1, we anticipate increased revenue through effective expense management and rent adjustments. The recent renovations, completed by the sellers, provide a strong foundation. Optimization will involve managing expenses and increasing revenue streams, such as storage and parking.

 

We hope this clears up some of the questions you may have had about investing with us. If you have any further queries or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at Amanda@Legendinvestments.ca or book a call with our team.
