I am not so sure if I should really reply to this post since the OP just wants to push Atlant, and I am supporting this now by bumping up the topic. However, I want to clarify that the proposed projects – while all of them are in the area of Real Estate – have different business models, and if you believe in Real Estate + Blockchain, you should probably invest in all of them.
I quickly want to provide my two cents to each of the mentioned projects:
http://www.real.markets/[Real Estate Fund] They basically manage your money like every other Real Estate fund, with the exception that you will never get your initial money back. You buy play money (
REALS) with ETH, and they promise that you'll be able to change REAL into shares (
Property Participation – RPP) of a property later on – each property will have its own Property Participation Tokens. All rental profits are paid to your ETH wallet equally split according to the number of RPPs you hold on this property. In case the property is getting sold with a profit compared to the purchase price, the profits are distributed to the RPP holders, and the RPP is burned. You'll get back your original play money, which you now can invest into new properties (aka new Property Participations).
They claim in their
whitepaper to have an annual return of 20%, however, they are doing basic real estate fund management which traditionally has a annual return of between 3…10%. 10% is already achieved only by top real estate developers and investors. Considering that they have not a single real estate expert in their founding team makes the 20% return hard to believe to me.
https://atlant.io/[Real Estate Fund] Similar concept as real.markets with the difference that you can sell the property in exchange for ETH (and not ATLANTs play money). Additionally they want to manage the renting process via the blockchain. So people can book, pay, review, and clear conflicts of the locations via their token contracts. I didn't check the code in detail, but from the whitepaper it seems to be "more advanced"; definitely more sophisticated.
Same issue: They don't have experienced real estate guys. They have investment bankers (where you'll touch real estate for sure), but no hands on developers, or real estate agents, investors, or bankers focussing purely on real estate.
Both projects have competences within their advisory team though.
http://www.rexmls.com/[Buying / Selling Marketplace] They are purely focussing on buying and selling properties (especially connecting the people). So I can find and become the owner of a piece of land. They don't plan to own real estate themselves. The tokens can be used for premium features within the platform (e.g. better positioning of agents listings), while they can be mined if you create quality content on the platform (property reports). I am a bit concerned about the team (only 2 people!), but their skill set is actually quite good for the project (real estate startups + blockchain; blockchain engineer).
https://propy.com/[Decentralised Title Registry] In my opinion the most ambitious project currently floating around in the PropChain world. In case you have ever tried to acquire a piece of land in most parts of the world, you probably figured out that it's even worse than a nightmare. Propy tries to solve it by standardising the whole title registration process for the buyer. You can select a property from their platform, pay the amount, and you own the property. This is the core difference to rexmis where you need to take care of the legals by yourself. They also have a well distributed skill set in their team, but they probably need it for this super-ambitious project.
I also have compiled similar information for the other PropChain projects, so if you have any questions, just write a PN to me and I am happy to help.
