It will be very strange if FundMyHome actually allows the home to be refinanced through itself at the end of year 5. If they do so, they will immediately incur a loss of 20% of the value of the home. Where did you get the info that they will actually allow that?
You can imagine the transaction to be as follows: 1. The homes are initially sold at 20% discount through bulk purchase by the FundMyHome investors. 2. The homes are later resold to buyers at 100% of the original price. 3. FundMyHome which holds the 20% difference, pays it out slowly to the investors over 5 years.
The 20% discount from the developer is used to pay out the 5% return to the investors. If FundMyHome allows the buyer to refinance their home back to FundMyHome, someone will have to fork out another 20% to be paid to the next batch of investors. I sure hope it won't be the home buyers.
