The Real Estate Crowdfunding Association (Representative Director: Daizo Yokota, hereinafter "the Association") and the Real Estate Specified Joint Enterprise Council have formulated a Checklist for Product Solicitation Screens Related to Real Estate Specified Joint Enterprises (hereinafter "Solicitation Checklist") for the purpose of promoting industry health and protecting investors.

This initiative was completed following discussions held over three sessions starting in September 2025 at the "Self-Regulation Rule Review Committee." By utilizing this checklist when soliciting products, operators can provide comprehensive information, thereby improving product transparency and serving as a guide for investors to make investment decisions based on a proper evaluation of risks and returns.

■ About the Solicitation Checklist

The Solicitation Checklist is divided into sections for Discretionary Association types and Anonymous Association types, covering the following content:

【Yield Details, Presentation, Basis, and Product Type】

  • Clear statement that displayed yields are pre-tax and regarding taxes (withholding) on distributed dividends.
  • Explanation of the breakdown of projected yields and the source of dividends.
  • Clear statement of the basis for projected yields (breakdown of income/capital) and property-specific risks (vacancies, rent declines, etc.).
  • Clear statement of the basis for projected sale prices (appraisal values, etc., or similar nearby transaction examples).
  • Clear statement of product type (rental/development) and the presence of loans. *If loans exist, it must be stated that loan repayment takes priority over repayment to investors.

【Related Party Transactions, Master Leases, and Re-solicitation】

  • Identification of the target real estate (address, map, photos, etc.) and the rights held by the operator (ownership, leasehold, etc.).
  • Clear statement of the specific use of funds/loans (including uses other than property acquisition).
  • Clear statement regarding the existence of related party transactions (including personal control relationships).
