Hi Everyone,
I've been looking around sometime for Bitcoin Lending Platforms that accept alternative collateral such as (Domains, Real Estate, Autos, etc.). I understand there are challenges with the types of collateral I have mentioned since they require multiple steps and a suitable third party (escrow, holding company, etc.). I also understand that securing the collateral is a bit more complicated, but definitely doable.
That being said, with all the tokenization out there and P2P portals, not one that I have found makes it easy to secure a bitcoin (or any coin) loan with simple underwriting. At least I haven't found one.
Traditional lending methods are not always viable.
This service is definitely useful if it were available.
Anyone Know of any providers that may fill this void?
Just curious to see if this community may shed light on options.
Thanks all for taking a look at this thread.

I think no one has this the same lending platform and I never heard that there is someone accepting domains, real estate etc. as a collateral. We have a lending section here in the forum and I think you can get more answer if you move this thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=65.0Mostly, the types of collateral they accept are altcoins and bitcointalk forum account here on the forum, but you can try asking some lender in lending section.

I haven't seen one too on making real estate as a collateral and why not tried up to make a loan into banks into your place op? because asking a loan here on this forum wont really be possible unless if the lendor resides on your similar place then it might be considered but most of the time,users on this forum is on global which cant really accept that kind of collateral.Just like been suggested above you can visit that board and somebody would might give you an idea.

I haven't come across any P2P lending services that work with Bitcoin and also accept collateral. You do have SALT, which allows you to provide collateral in different forms of cryptocurrency. https://saltlending.com/Other P2P lending services all seem to be reputation based, which is a pretty flawed concept to begin with.

I know online lending platform in my country which accepts those collateral but it's in fiat. I'm not sure if there is any btc lending platform that accepts the collaterals you've mentioned but I have found Ethlend. Ethlend accepts Ethereum Name Service domain (ENS domain) as a collateral. I don't know much about smart contacts and domain names so I'm not sure if this helps. Other P2P lending services all seem to be reputation based, which is a pretty flawed concept to begin with.
There's other p2p lending services that's pretty reliable and are also offering collateral loans but through stable atcoins.

If you're looking for loans with these irl items, then you're probably much better off just going to a physical bank branch or some sort of loans service locally.
The paperwork dealing with real estate as collateral varies based on which country you are based on, and obviously it is improbable that anyone would be able to go to such lengths just to secure and verify physical collateral like this, when they are situated in an entirely different country. Same with cars.
If you really need bitcoin loans, then perhaps p2p lending platforms will work. However, I don't really know any that are particularly legit or active at the moment. You may be able to get some loans with domains on the forum lending board, but even domains are reversible, meaning that most lenders do not accept that as a valid collateral.

It might not work out. Even if you get the loan, the bitcoin rates fluctuate and it might be a hit or miss for you. If you are lent x amount in BTC while paying back if the terms say you're supposed to pay the x back, the final value in $$ might not be the same. Banks offer much better loan options for Real Estate collaterals. That being said, with all the tokenization out there and P2P portals, not one that I have found makes it easy to secure a bitcoin (or any coin) loan with simple underwriting. At least I haven't found one.
There isn't. They couldn't sustain for long given the amount of scammers in the market.

I actually just saw an announcement of a new landing platform that does work with collateral. Now, I have no idea if they're trustworthy, so I wouldn't just trust them. Just thought I'd share it. https://lendabit.com/They seem to accept collateral in Bitcoin.

I would be interested if there is the possibility to invest and get a house/apartment as collateral but the problem is about the legal paperwork from a public notary's office. And since we have different laws while dealing with a notary it makes it more difficult. I know Cryptopay is (or at least was) providing loans with BTC as collateral, similar to the website the poster above posted. But in this case, I am not sure if it's really useful for a borrower. I mean, instead, you can sell your bitcoins to fiat and then rebuy bitcoins later

Then for me a company that looks for similar boards and tries to promote itself with posting in them, doesn't seem serious. There are some companies who are registered in Hong Kong and in London and are scammers, they use these "License" to scam people, I don't know why it's easy to obtain that license. I saw your banner on hashing24.com They have contract with Bitfury and I know they are legit, btw I want you to prove your legality without doubts ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) )

It was addressed to everyone who reads this topic. We understand your doubts and that you do not trust such facts as legal activity, documents submitted for licensing, reliable partners (such as hashing24), but keep in mind that we opened only 3 months ago and we just begin our journey. Indeed, you are right, many scam projects were licensed, but not all licensed projects are scammers. Just try, test the service with small amounts and follow the news, I think we will surprise you.
