What does tokenizing mean for real estate investors?

In addition to creating fractional ownership of an asset, tokenization can create liquidity for the investor. Traditionally, real estate investment requires capital lock-in for an extended period of time. With tokenization, interests in real estate can become more liquid and create access to global capital. Tokenizing allows smaller carve-outs of an asset that are then sold, creating more liquidity for majority owners and developers. Traditional exchanges of real estate interests are limited to more regional investors, during local opening hours, whereas tokens can be traded at any time across borders.

CoinDesk reported that blockchain could save US mortgage industry $US 1 Billion.

According to the Federal Reserve Q1 2018 Report, the current US market for residential loaning is estimated at over $14 trillion, with 1.7% of these loans failing to meet scheduled payments (Non-Performing Loans or NPLs) which are then traded at a significant discount. Because of the capital and knowledge required to pursue this asset class, control over this market has been dominated by large institutional investors.

"Opportunity resides within this niche marketplace as to the acquisition and collection of non-performing mortgages. With a nationwide network of legal resources, the framework for fast and accurate underwriting with the experience to monetize these undervalued assets, BitCasas is uniquely qualified and positioned to secure investments by traditional real estate mortgages and provide investors with high yields by turning non-performing mortgages into high value performing mortgages." says Kamran Mohammadi, CEO of Bitcasas.

"To help individuals all over the world understand the benefits of mortgage debt as an asset class – ownership in real estate without the management headache – we have developed the BitCasas online investment platform. Using blockchain as its backbone adds full transparency and instant liquidity through tradeable asset-backed security tokens" says Ramesh Ramadoss , President of Bitcasas.

"Our platform provides greater individual participation in this market by tapping into the power of the community in due diligence and NPL deal flow immediately in residential home loans, with an eye on commercial loans in the future. We will be pleased to become a portfolio company of First Bitcoin Capital."
