Fractional luxury real estate investment app demonstrates success with its B52 method to fix and flip
NEWPORT BEACH, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 9, 2025 / Belwood Investments, the fractional luxury real estate investing app, purchased 2607 Ocean Boulevard in Corona Del Mar for $4.3 million after raising $1.6 million through its app, where anyone can invest starting with just $1,000. The company also finalized renovations on three additional properties in California, which are now listed for sale between $1.59 and $2.89 million.
"With renovations complete, we're bringing three incredible properties to market and look forward to delivering substantial returns to our investors," said Steven "Bo" Belmont, CEO and founder of Belwood Investments. "These milestones prove that our unique B52 model of fractionalized luxury real estate investing works. We're looking forward to making real estate investing accessible to even more people by acquiring new properties with high potential, like the one on Ocean Boulevard."
The Ocean Boulevard property has a construction budget of around $2.9 million, and Belwood Investments estimates its after remodel value to be $12 million, which would deliver an estimated 100% ROI to investors. Located in the prestigious China Cove community of Corona Del Mar, this home will undergo a significant expansion of nearly 2,000 square feet and add amenities like a pool and elevator, elevating it to a luxurious retreat blending modern sophistication with coastal charm. The planned construction timeline is 16 to 18 months.
The three properties Belwood Investments has renovated and listed for sale include:
1054 Volante Drive, a stunning property in Arcadia's prestigious Peacock Gardens neighborhood. The home is listed for nearly $2.7 million after being purchased for around $1.6 million. After raising $465k from investors through its app, Belwood Investments did a complete interior and exterior remodel, adding a pool and an ADU/guest house to the property.
21171 Colina Drive, a home in private and tranquil Topanga Canyon. It is listed for nearly $1.6 million after being purchased for $1.2 million. Belwood Investments completely transformed the home, with a new kitchen, bathrooms, backyard deck, flooring, electrical and plumbing.
1317 Hillview Place, a home in Napa Valley's St. Helena. The home is listed for sale for $2.89 million after being purchased for around $1.2 million in 2022, with $222k raised from investors. Belwood completed an interior and exterior remodel and added a pool and ADU/guest house.
Since 2018, Belwood Investments has closed on more than 185 properties, and more than 640 investors have funded projects through its app. In 2024, Belwood Investments delivered an average ROI of 32% to investors.
"Fractional real estate investing with Belwood Investments has delivered me substantial returns," said investor Eva Palacios, who has purchased fractional ownership in multiple properties through the app. "I was originally attracted to the company because of how quickly they completed projects, and the transparency shown to investors. They aren't afraid to show the good and the ugly behind the scenes, and that's why I decided to invest. Since my initial purchase, I have invested in 10 additional properties, and I'm excited to see what's next."
The company also recently announced it accepted an offer on the famed 4000-square-foot Malibu beach house designed by Tadao Ando at 24844 Malibu Road, which it purchased for $21 million in 2024, for over $30 million. The Belwood team had already begun working with the original builders, architecture firm Marmol Radziner, to handle renovations, making it appealing to buyers. The sale is expected to close on May 1, with a projected ROI for investors of around 20%.
"The Malibu Road home was an incredibly exciting opportunity for us given its history and architecture," said Belmont. "We're now bringing returns to our investors in less than six months, and the buyer now has the chance to add their creative finishes to the project."
Belwood Investments is currently accepting investments on six additional properties via its mobile app, providing anyone the opportunity to invest in short-term luxury home flips, no real estate or renovation experience required. Each investor receives a Deed of Trust securing their investment and can receive weekly updates on construction progress through the app.
Through its B52 method, Belwood crowdsources up to 20% of each project's cost through its app and splits sale profits 50% with investors.
