Selling an Apartment as an NFT
Blockchain startup Propy is launching real estate-backed NFTs in the United States.
They have been working on the technological and legal framework to literally turn real estate properties into NFTs.
That technology will be marketed to owners and brokers, with Propy auctioning two residential properties located in Florida on February 8 as part of a real estate NFTing service.
If successful, the buyers will get a Florida-based investment property, owning a US-based entity that owns the property, the ownership rights of which are associated with an NFT.
It is not fractional ownership (we don’t like that at investing.io), and becomes a DeFi asset that can be borrowed against.
Propy’s plan is to scale this offering globally, providing a single framework for purchasing real estate using blockchain technology.
Crypto Mortgages Arrive
Now you can leverage your "unique wealth" to invest in real estate.
As part of its mission to build a digital bank that provides financial solutions for would-be homeowners around the world, Milo is expanding its offering to include what it calls the first-ever crypto mortgage.
Initially formed in 2019 to help global customers obtain a mortgage to purchase a home in the U.S., Milo quickly realized there was parallel demand in the crypto community for a better solution to leverage their crypto assets to achieve their goal of home ownership.
Rather than liquidating crypto assets in exchange for fiat which is then used for a down payment, a crypto mortgage will let users invest in real estate using their digital holdings.
Milo says it can qualify borrowers for a loan "within minutes" and close on the transaction within 30 days. Applications can be done online from anywhere, and Milo's technology will generate interest rate options you qualify for based on your crypto holdings.
The company says it handles all of the behind-the-scenes paperwork typically associated with purchasing a home, like title, insurance, and appraisals, and once your loan is closed you can make monthly payments to Milo using either crypto or fiat.
Milo's offering is geared towards consumers with "unique wealth," such as crypto holdings, and provides financial instruments to global clients with no credit history or Social Security number requirements.
