I've already seen a few ICO projects, connected with investing in real estate.
I'd like to listen to your experience, whether it's risky or not?
Who already invested and had profit from such projects!

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

I think that there is no reason to invest on ICO that is connected to real estate, when you can just invest directly in real estate.

Those ICO most likely are trading on a bubble price, they usually represent a purchase group( group of people who can't afford buying the real estate alone, so they join into group and buy it together).

Sometimes you don't know who controls the real estate the group purchased, and when the only income you get is from renting the asset, the group organizer(in this case, ICO organizer), can just run out with the money after few months.

Also, it's hard to determine whether the real estate exists or you are just being fooled.

Investing in real estate means buying property through a notary, and then paying property tax.
If you can't walk in and say "this is mine", you've got nothin'.
Gold's like that, too. If you don't have it in your hand, you've got nothin'.

Every ICO is at risk, all types of investments are risky so when you are about to risk you are at risk. And with those projects that are connecting their projects to real estate.

Obviously, you are only investing to their project but not totally with everybody's goal to have real estate/property.

I never invested to an ICO that are into real estate, I prefer to invest and focus with my real properties that I can touch rather than trust with those pump and dump ICOs.


Just like what I'm thinking, I will agree on this point.

Ive been seeing some projects that do involve on real estate but i dont have any idea on what already happened to them if they are still running or not or just a fly by night project which do propose for long term but totally gone after they accumulate such funds this is why i dont really focus or pay attention on investing into ICO. Anything has risk when it comes into investment which we should really be careful on selecting on the projects we would tend to put up our money.

there is actually

established real estate companies, have fast pension contracts with their employees, additionally they have adapted to having rented offices in the expensive financial centres,

you will have to pay for that with your profits,

with blockchain you can benefit from a young and efficient startup

i am working btw. on such a startup

real estate is an important and big topic but its in general about value sources,

i would be glad if you give me feedback on our website, or write us a pm

Investing to an ICO that has a theme of real estate doesn't literally means that you are investing to a real estate. If you are about to choose those type of ICO's go for it but I wouldn't treat that as something that's worth to invest, I'd love to buy my own house if I have a big money that's ready for investment.

Its a good project because its backed by physical assets based on the acquisition of real estates but the concern I have personally is based on the following:

1. What is the law in the countries where they want to acquire such asset because that is key whether individuals are allowed to acquire real estates or corporate bodies.

2. Who will be managing the assets acquired to ensure regular payment of mortgage, will they be partnering with banks to ensure that the payments are remitted as at when due?

3. Who are those to ensure that all rules are complied with to ensure return of investors are guaranteed?

This and many other questions I will need to be convinced about before putting my funds in it.

Listen to this guy.

Until there's a way to invest in real estate in a way that legally entitles you to a property you're just buying hot air.

I totally agree with BillCoin on this. Why to invest in a ICO related to real estate while you can invest the money into real estate yourself? All you gotta do is to cash out the money in fiat and invest them in real estate business and you are done. You don't need to involve any third party into your investment, and you can never believe someone else in property business, as long as you don't see everything yourself. How can you give away your money to someone and ask them to invest them into real estate and give you returns? What if they don't do so? What if they run way with your money?

The allure of the "real estate ICOs" is that you can invest with smaller amounts of money. Similar to REITs.

You can't just go and buy a bit of a house for $10000 or something and most people won't even get a buy-to-let loan. Those that do still find themselves facing very high risks.

Real estate is a harsh market with generally low profits and low liquidity, so it's not quite as simple as you make it seem to be.

The blockchain could solve these issues, but so far we're nowhere close to a practical solution.

An ICO claiming to be investing into real estate, is either a scam or not worth it. If you want to invest in real estate then do it directly and don't go through any other means. The problem with a lot of ICOs they are just out there to earn a quick buck and don't actually care about the project.

I agree with that Welsh, there I recently see there were ICO's that has a tagline like that. And I'm quite skeptic about that project since they are highlighting real estate.



This is the best thing to do if someone wants to invest into real estate. You have tangible real property that you can see and you may want to remember on how hard you worked for it.


True, most of them are doing it that way.

Exactly, many people are thinking they are investing in real estate but it feels like at least they are supporting the platform which they like. Real estate is a good platform and it is has good potential platform for all the development.

They are part of the ICO but they'll never get what's really for them with what they are thinking. I don't consider real estate is a good platform, I consider real estate is one of the major investments that everyone should be investing and these ICOs that are correlating their projects to real estate are taking advantage of it.

I agree that's quite risky(

Thanks! Your feedback is very informative!

Yeap, I agree that's unsafe!

That's what I'm afraid of after making investment in such alts

Thanks to everyone who replied!
I've made a decision to make small investment, if I really like the project! If not, I'd better invest in real estate project in the real life! But hope blockchain will make a revolution in that field!

There's a lot of ICO popping nowadays that have no viable project. There are even some that have successful ICOs but after that, the developers would just disappear. Regarding real estate, I am planning to invest on it too but not online. I prefer to see the real estate myself physically and I will be the one handling the finances because it's hard to trust nowadays.

Before getting into their project stuff you should know their actual plans with the funds they are going to manage. How they are going to use it and how they will share the profits from the real estate business? These things must be know first. Plus you must know who is the party behind the whole thing, are they trust members already or not and have they completed any successful ICO before. These things can give you some clue on how you can profit from them.

Most of the real estate ICO projects will be profitable if they execute as per the plan. One thing that you should always keep in mind is investing in ICOs are always risky. Before investing in ICOs you need to enquire about the team as well as you should do a thorough research about it. Because nowadays there are so many scam ICOs popping up daily. So you need to be very careful while investing in ICOs.

They will be only successful when they got their hope and threshold of reaching their hard cap. Most of them are doing it since there are so much investors now into ICOs that are keep on joining and doesn't care whether it is a real estate based ICO or not.


Good luck with your investment, what project are you planning to invest then? I'm not going to say some anymore since I guess you have understand what you are really investing. Investing real property in real life is next to bitcoin investment.  :)

I have never researched those projects for the simple reason that those projects look scammy to me, why do we need a project with a blockchain that deals with real estate? I do not see a connection between those two and that is why I have never invested anything in those projects, now people are trying to use the blockchain for everything but that is a huge mistake.

I never see any documented project that points out that it is the product of the certain ICO project and maybe those one is a myth to accumulate more investors for their tokens and not for the project itself, But who knows maybe there's another project will step up and make this real state business came true. But I will avoid those real estate ICO business since it is shaddy on my side.

The connection is very simple. Right now trading real estate is extremely slow, expensive and inconvenient. The blockchain could easily change this by making lawyers and notaries redundant, thus vastly increasing the efficiency of the real estate market. It's just a matter of time before this happens and the only question will be who will do it properly first.

I totally disagree those type of ICO's. If they would really invest in real estates they would open a legal investments company wich allow people to invest money safely without the risk of disappearing over night.
Actually only a few ICO's are really based on a real project with strategic and safe investments. Most of ICO's are created just to make a quick profit in a few weeks months then they the business suddenly closes.
If you want to invest huge amounts of money in a business than is better to look for a legal investments company that offers you some guarantee of your money or you can just invest in your own business

You can use ICOs in combination with legal companies..

actually every investment has the risk and we need to understand about that so if we decide to invest in one programs then we need to read the details about the project. we need to learn more about what the project offers to us so we don't regret if the projects getting run away because we already know about the risk. the more money we invest is the more risk we have with the projects so think twice before we invest our money and prepare ourselves for the bad things that might be happen.

I am not surprised that most posts dont support the Idea of ICO on estate acquisition. They dont need blockchain and it should be a local concept. Put your money into it directly. There have been a lot of projects and its obvious the are only exploiting the contemporary ICO concept.

I watched a video on business insider about the reporter/host (I can't remember her name) interviews a guy about ICOs. And he did mentioned about real estate so these type of ICOs are called asset back ICOs and if someone can correct me here if I'm wrong that will be better.

It's popular now that a lot of ICOs are using this method just to rake more investors and benefit from collecting a lot of money from it.

I've already heard this kind of investment in real estate with ICO project,this kind of investment is good concept but they only used the ICO project  for the traditional bussiness of real estate,its just only a matter of money to collect more profit and regain more asset.

You made the right decision and never ever invest into real estate unless you see it in real life and to be honest it will take good couple of years for blockchain to be involved in that field.

Yes when it comes to real estate i would also suggest to see it in real and then invest rather than going for idea of ICO on estate acquisition.

It is still ahead of it's time - but eventually, it's quite the natural progression.

one of the hardest projects in a short time. go far and many other projects are more promising.
unless you are ready to spend a large capital, and the results are very dubious.

So far, any type of ICO/real estate I saw was pure scam... stay away. You don't need a ICO to invest in real estate. Talk to your local commercial broker, in you your area.

There are so many new icos and each of them premise something and they are connected with something. Many of icos will be scams, and many will just lose their value over time cause of some technical issues, or bad development team, or something else, many things can go wrong.
Its not bad to invest in icos, I so it myself. Don't invest more then you can afford to lose, check ico as much as you can, see reviews and if you like whst you see invest, don't listen others! They speak that bitcoin is scam for years, same about dash, eth, bitcoin cash, and look how much this coins worth now.

To be fair, BCash is so corrupt and manipulated that it's actually much worse than any scam.

Real state business is  very popular now and ive already heard that some icos connected  of some real state  business but before we join this kind of project its better to check first  before we dicide  so try to research .Its not bad to invest  but we have to clarify of some other things  before  we decide .

Real estates could be tricky investment. Depends on the country you are buying and many factors that are changing all the time. But if you still decide to go for that kind of investment get it real. It's the best thing to avoid different online offers and projects with suspicious promises, the best option is to go directly to your local dealer or agency and ask for some recommendations.

Its a very big bubble right now that is over bought in most countries.  Stick with crypto investment until 2020 or 2024.

Even in bubble countries there are exceptions, such as university cities with large influxes of students. The market could certainly be much better though.

Like what? Show me one single ICO related to realestate which you think is turntable. I have not see a single one yet.
