Fractional real estate / tokenized

[Zach Rinehardt]

As real estate experts, what interests you in the Next big wave of real estate (fractional real estate)? 

do you think more people would be interested in real estate investing if the cost barrier was lower?

what held you back from your first investment?

Would you prefer picking fractional shares of properties if the dividend rates were better than the average REIT?

looking for general thoughts on this newly developing market! 

Thanks!

I love the idea of fractionalized REI, however using tokens to facilitate does not change the underlying activity, which means whether my investors are funding a deal through dollars or coins, we are still going to be dealing with the same SEC regulations as long as we are operating within the US. Even if their consumer protections haven't fully been adapted to cover all areas of tokenized REI, that is something they will likely move to cover in the near future.

I am very bullish on the future applications of blockchain in a variety of markets, real estate included, but at this moment, it is difficult to picture the benefit in terms of raising capital aside from being able to replace a basic investor management portal.
