RealT aims to become a cornerstone in tokenized real estate investing.

RealT: invest in rental properties from 50 euros using an intuitive platform. Each purchased "token" can later be sold on the market.

Investing in real estate is often an unattainable dream for many individuals. With rising market prices and high mortgage interest rates, it is becoming increasingly difficult to own or diversify your home equity. The financial prudence of banks in recent years is not helping to sustain the real estate sector in France, whose decline, according to the best agents, will last until 2024 (-4%).

Luckily, there is an innovative solution: RealT, a service that allows you to invest in rental properties from €50 using blockchain. In practice, the platform allows you to buy real estate shares in the US (and soon in Europe!) in the form of digital tokens - RealTokens. The tokens are issued on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain blockchains, two technologies that guarantee the security, transparency and traceability of transactions. Each token represents a piece of real estate ownership and entitles the holder to a pro-rata rental income.

For example, this small cottage in the heart of downtown Detroit available on RealT should yield a 9.87% net return, according to the service's experts, excluding potential increases in property value over time. Of course, it will all depend on the level of occupancy and the asking rent. Since its inception in 2019, RealT has generated an average return of 10% for its community on a portfolio of more than 350 properties valued at more than $100 million.

Why did RealT focus on the U.S.

If real estate tokenization has become an important topic due to the fact that rising interest rates have made access to credit almost impossible, RealT is one of the pioneers in this field with a wide community of 15,000 investors in 150 countries.

Because of its success, RealT can now offer its "new" clients some properties exclusively (as it did with a cottage in Detroit). Each new property literally tears up the system, so you need to be responsive to get new properties in time.

The platform emphasizes some benefits that help mitigate risk: income is paid weekly in stable cryptocurrencies pegged to the U.S. dollar (no risk of cryptocurrency value changes). It also allows for automatic reinvestment of earnings - either into another existing site on the platform or through the ArmmxDai token, which on average yields 6%. But mainly, RealT offers a secondary marketplace that allows you to sell your RealTokens at any time (ie. your shares). Thus, it offers its clients a liquidity solution that allows them to invest in real estate for a few weeks, months or years depending on their capacity.
