INTRODUCTION
The real estate business is a big business generating around $162 trillion in residential estate and $29 trillion in commercial real estate. Most people see it is as a very lucrative means of investment but it is a difficult industry to break into. Realtyreturns has made it possible for individuals and organization to invest in the real estate industry using cryptocurrencies.
REALTYRETURNS
Realtyreturns is a platform that utilizes the blockchain technology to provide real estate investments that will generate income in the form of security tokens for investors globally. Through the blockchain technology Realtyreturns will offer a more effective and valuable method of investing in real estate. This will aid investors globally with the challenges of investing in the real estate market. In the course of time, the real estate industry has encountered some technological changes that include development of sites that allows investors see listings of properties for sale and online platforms that allows investors make real estate investments with as low as $5000.
PROBLEMS
In spite of these technological disruptions there are still challenges facing the real estate industry that discourages potential investors. These problems include:
Difficulties in penetrating the real estate market overseas by international investors.
Lack of credible opportunities to receive stable income from investments in real estate made in the blockchain system by Cryptocurrency investors
Lack of liquidity – investors cannot sell their shares after purchase. Most investors want investments they can jump in and out of without the pressures associated with long term commitments. On the stock markets investors can sell publicly traded stocks at will but when it comes to the real estate industry the options of liquidity are very limited.
With Realtyreturns, investors will no longer have to face these challenges.
SOLUTIONS
Realtyreturns will leverage on the strength of the blockchain. It seeks to rely on the global use of the blockchain to allow investors invest in the real estate industry across borders. The Realtyreturns tokens will allow buyers acquire an even share of income that is produced by real estate. Investors with lower investment will be given the opportunity to invest on a smaller scale in fractional share of each property. Since return tokens are transferable on all exchange platforms that are ERC-20 compliant, investors are free to sell their tokens and exit their investment position at any point in time.
REAL ESTATE AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that many cryptocurrencies run on. The power of blockchain technology validates, adds transactions and allows blockchain to be a distributed system with no central authority. This lack of central authority and distributed public ledger will allow the blockchain technology to grow beyond being a decentralized database of cryptocurrency transactions.
The real estate market is due for a huge blockchain disruption. A future-proof blockchain real estate market could help with creating better ways of connecting potential buyers with sellers. It will also affect transaction times positively as property sellers can now sell fractions of shares on a particular property instead of searching for a single buyer. It will lower the barrier faced by the international investors that are interested in entering into the real estate industry. Also, additional fees from inspection costs, taxes, registration and loan fees could be cut out through automation of all relevant processes and documentations on the blockchain
TOKENS
Realtyreturns will issue two types of tokens; Access tokens and Returns Tokens.
Access token: this is a membership token that will act as dividend keys on the Realtyreturns platform and allows payment to the user in ethereum. The payment will be based on the cash flow associated with the properties and security tokens owned by the user.
Returns token: This token is based on the ethereum platform (ERC-20) which is the most advanced and widely used blockchain platform in existence and will be backed by physical real estate. It allows decentralized trading tokens on all platforms that support the ERC-20 tokens. This increases the chances of liquidity significantly.
The returns token will solve the problem faced by security issuers - such as limiting the number of investors and specified ownership levels - by enforcing regulatory compliance at the token level.
The returns token incorporates three (3) major services on the ethereum blockchain. They include:
The returns token
Governor service
Service recorder
The Returns Token: a permissioned ERC-20 smart contract that represents ownership of real estate security. Each time a transfer is initiated, the returns token calls the governor service check method from the transfer and transfer from method (these are stated in details in ERC-20 specifications). If the check is successful, tokens will be transferred accordingly with a successful check status event and if unsuccessful, the transfer fails and is indicated with an unsuccessful check status event along with the reason for failure. The check status event can be used by users to find out the reason why a trade was declined.
Governor Service: the governor service involves a single check method - that contains all info provided during transfer – taken from the transfer and transfer from method. In order to approve of or disapprove of a trade in the returns token, the governor service has to provide a whitelist of approved investors, their trading permissions and additional token trading setting in a manner that satisfies relevant requirements.
Service Recorder: it provides the returns token with a means of finding the recent, correct or desired version of the governor’s service.
It provides an updated governor service address to the returns token whenever a new version of the governor’s service released. This is to ensure that the right governor’s token is used for trade approval by returns token.
TOKEN SALE
About 1.2 billion access tokens will be sold through smart contract. During the crowd sales, about 150 million membership tokens will be created and sold through smart connect. 20% of the total membership tokens will be created and held by Realtyreturns treasury, 10% will be for the advisors, influencers, team members, brand ambassadors etc. while the other 10% will be allocated to the founders and subjected to a period of time before they can be owned fully by the founders.
