Although real estate fluctuates like any others asset, its appreciation rates have consistenly outpaced the rate of inflation. In addition, real estate offers steady cash flow opportunities via rental income. With Blox Estate you can enter the real estate market for as little as $100 USD.
Traditional Investment vs the Blockchain Alternative
Traditional Real Estate Investment
Traditional real estate investment presents a high barrier of entry, both financially and and legally. In order to purchase a rental property, a prospective investor will often need to take out a mortgage - cutting into the property's bottom line. Additionally, investors must deal with the hassles like managing tenants, maintaining the property, paying taxes, and ensuring legal compliance.
Fractional Models: REITs and Tokenization
In order to resolve the issue of real estate inaccessibility, fractional models of real estate investment such as REITs were created. REITs allow investors to buy shares of real estate companies who own, operate, or lease income-generating real estate. The income is then paid out as dividends, providing a stable source of cash flow for investors. Tokenization is the blockchain's alternative to REITs, offering several advantages including:
- The ability to invest in a single property rather than a fund
- Voting and governance rights over the property
- More frequent dividend payouts
- Less overhead and fewer management fees
- Lower minimum investment
- Investments are represented by tokens which can easily be bought and sold in a matter of seconds
