Located in the heart of middle America, St. Louis, MO is one of the USA’s most iconic cities. From the Gateway Arch to its world-famous Jazz music, the city has something for everyone. Home to over 2,800,000 people, many investors consider St. Louis one of the best markets for cash flow property investment.
There are good reasons for this – St. Louis has an excellent job market, steady population growth, plenty of renters, a high quality of life, and its properties have consistently appreciated in value over time.
St. Louis is competitive among other thriving urban areas, partially due to the expanding work opportunities within the technology and creative sectors. The job market is reinforced by established brands such as Anheuser-Busch, Boeing, Express Scripts, and many others. In 2018, a study by Glassdoor – one of the world’s leading career recruitment sites – found that out of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States, St. Louis was the second-best city for job seekers.
With an unemployment rate of 2.9%, St. Louis excels when compared to the national average of 3.6%. Additionally, the GDP of St. Louis has grown nearly 23% over the last 10 years according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The appeal St. Louis has to potential renters makes sense; a strong job market is the backbone of a growing and thriving city and allows plenty of workers to make St. Louis their home.
St. Louis has welcomed steady population growth over the last decade. Being home to roughly 2,800,000 people as of 2019, it is the 20th largest metropolitan area in the United States. People move to St. Louis from all around the country due to its diverse economy, low cost of living, and numerous entertainment options.
As a biotech and business hub, St. Louis is also home to roughly 40 colleges and universities. It stands to reason that St. Louis is one of the top cities in the US for recent college graduates and those seeking an education.
In St. Louis, renters occupy more than half of the housing units (54%). More than half of the households in St. Louis still prefer to rent rather than own! A population that prefers renting to owning means real estate investors will never have to worry about finding a tenant to occupy their property. With 2.8 million people, and 54% currently renting, property managers have a whopping 1.5+ million potential tenants.
With the 3rd lowest price-to-rent ratio among major US cities, St. Louis is a top choice for cash flow properties. Price-to-rent ratio is defined by the ratio between the value of a property and how much rent it can generate. Put simply, a lower price-to-rent ratio means higher cash returns for investors.
A new study by WalletHub ranked St. Louis among the top 100 locations for renters. The research examined the same critical factors that real estate investors consider, such as rental market activity, job and population growth, and families’ preference for renting as opposed to owning.
St. Louis offers a vibrant lifestyle and community for residents, ranking among the top places to live in the United States. Whether you are a sports fan, looking to progress in your career, or hoping to start a family, St. Louis is an enticing choice.
The cost of living in St. Louis is affordable due to real estate costs that are significantly lower than the national average. Families can choose their ideal home in the community of their choice while staying within their financial means. There are plenty of opportunities for upward growth via property appreciation as the population continues to grow.
St. Louis is also a hotbed for arts and entertainment. World-famous for its jazz music, barbeque, and nightlife, the city has a rich tradition and a vibrant downtown culture. The St. Louis Cardinals have one of the most loyal and exuberant fan bases in MLB. Busch Stadium has been named one of the top 10 venues in the nation by Bleacher Report and Fox Sports for its vantage points, friendliness, and capacity for both indoor and outdoor viewing of sporting events.
As more people flock to areas with unique cultures and plenty of entertainment options, cities like St. Louis will continue to grow. When population increases, so do property values and potential renters.
Conclusion
Choosing the location of an investment property can make or break your investment. St. Louis offers numerous qualities that make it the perfect place to look for your next investment. With a vast array of activities in the city, a rich and expanding job market, and a steadily growing population, St. Louis offers one of the best cash flow markets in the country.

Landshare Team
At Landshare, we aim to make real estate investment accessible to everyone. By tokenizing real estate assets, we allow users to invest in prime properties worldwide without the massive upfront cost.
We’ve brought out our latest update: the Land Protocol. Through this, token holders can access liquidity without selling their assets by using Landshare Tokens (LAND) or Real World Asset Tokens (LSRWA) as collateral.
This creates a mutually beneficial scenario for both borrowers and lenders. Borrowers gain the cash flow they need, while lenders earn consistent returns through interest. How does this work? Let’s discuss
If you’re holding LAND or LSRWA tokens, why let them sit idle when you can borrow USDC and put your assets to work?
With the Landshare Loan Protocol, you don’t need to sell your valuable tokens to access liquidity. Instead, you can use them as collateral and get the funds you need while retaining ownership of your assets. Whether you want to cover personal expenses, make new investments, or take advantage of other opportunities by borrowing USDC through Landshare, you can maximize tokens' potential without parting with them.
As a lender, the protocol helps you earn 10% APY by contributing USDC.
The Landshare Loan Protocol has two distinct pools: one for LSRWA tokens and another for LAND tokens. Each of these pools has a set maturity date, the deadline by which loans must be repaid. If the loan isn’t repaid by this date, the collateral used by the borrower will be liquidated, meaning it will be sold to recover the loan amount.
The completion percentage displayed for each pool shows how much time has passed in the loan term. For example, if the completion percentage is 50%, half the term is completed, and the same amount of time remains before the maturity date.
Once the loan term ends and the maturity date is reached, lenders will get their USDC back along with the interest earned during the loan period. This interest comes from the borrower’s repayment and is set at 10% APY. This means borrowers pay 10% in interest, and lenders earn 10% on their funds. As a lender, your USDC is secured by the collateral the borrower has provided—either LAND or LSRWA tokens. This makes the system secure for lenders since their funds are protected.
The protocol uses over-collateralization to reduce the risk for lenders. This means that borrowers must provide more collateral than the value of the loan they’re taking.
For example, in the LSRWA pool, a borrower can only withdraw up to 50% of the value of their collateral. So if someone deposits $100 worth of LSRWA, they can only borrow 50 USDC. This extra collateral helps to protect lenders because the loan is backed by more than the borrowed amount, lowering the chances of a loss in case the borrower defaults.
If a loan is not repaid by the maturity date, the collateral (either LSRWA or LAND) will be sold to pay back the loan amount, including any interest. A 10% liquidation fee is also levied.
After the liquidation, if there is any remaining balance from the sale of the collateral, the borrower can claim it. This process ensures that lenders are compensated even if a borrower fails to repay the loan.
The process of borrowing USDC by pawning your LSRWA and LAND tokens is straightforward. Let’s walk through it:
You can lend your stablecoins through this protocol and earn 10% APY. The process is simple. Let’s look at it:
We’re rolling out a new borrowing strategy that unlocks triple the earning potential for our users. You’ll be able to borrow against staked LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens, allowing you to stack rewards from three sources at once:
But wait, there’s more! 👀
If you buy $LSRWA via the DS Dashboard, you’ll earn NFT Credits. These credits can be used to mint NFTs and unlock even more rewards, taking your real estate investing to the next level with a touch of DeFi magic!
How the new borrowing strategy will work:
1. Create LP Tokens: Pair USDT and LSRWA on DS Swap to generate LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens.
2. Wrap and Stake: Deposit LP Tokens into a wrapped contract to keep earning LAND yields.
3. Borrow USDC: Use your wrapped LP Tokens as collateral and unlock USDC via our Loan Protocol.
💡 Why is this exciting? This strategy supercharges your capital efficiency, letting you grow your portfolio without missing out on staking rewards or token gains.
Borrowing through the Landshare Loan Protocol offers more than just quick access to cash—it’s an opportunity to make your tokenized assets work for you. You don’t have to choose between selling your tokens and staying liquid.
With a fixed maturity date and competitive interest rates, this system allows you to borrow responsibly while keeping your tokens safe.
Take advantage of the liquidity your assets can provide through the Landshare Loan Protocol.
Landshare Team
Hello Landshare community!
As we move into yet another new year, we’d like to express our gratitude for each and every LAND holder, LSRWA investor, and community member who has shared their time and energy with us. 2024 was marked with several major milestones, and you can check out our annual recap here.
With last year officially behind us, it’s time to put out the team’s vision for the next 12 months of Landshare. In this roadmap, we will cover the specific deliverables you can expect to see this year, the ongoing developments that will occur throughout the year, and the core priorities that drive our decision-making process.
Without further ado, let’s dive in!
Landshare has grown into something far greater than what we initially envisioned. What started as a concept for tokenized real estate has blossomed into a robust ecosystem featuring tools and features like staking, NFTs, liquidity pools, a loan protocol, and a secondary market.
In 2025, our focus shifts to unlocking the full potential of these offerings. This year will be about refinement, outreach, and adoption. We’ll prioritize showcasing our features to a broader audience through compelling content, strategic partnerships, offline events, and expanded advertising efforts.
Our goal is simple: to make Landshare a recognized leader in tokenization and to bring the benefits of our ecosystem to the masses. Your support continues to fuel this journey, and together, we can achieve even greater milestones.
For those short on time, we’ve summarized the roadmap here, starting with our Core Priorities followed by the specific features and developments you can expect throughout the year.
In addition to the key deliverables, here are the continuous efforts we’ll focus on throughout 2025:
Now that you know what to expect this year, let’s dive a little bit deeper into the new features and changes coming to Landshare in 2025.
We recognize that there are different types of users in the Web3 world — some are highly sophisticated, constantly seeking new ways to squeeze out additional yields. Others are passive, laid-back participants with less experience on the blockchain. Our vision is an ecosystem that accommodates both types of investors. For this reason, in line with our goal to make Landshare more accessible, we’re introducing LSRWA Express.
With LSRWA Express, qualified investors can earn real returns from real assets by simply depositing stablecoins in the Landshare platform. Behind the scenes, the stablecoins are used to purchase, hold, and redeem LSRWA Tokens, much like the capabilities our users already enjoy. On the front end, investors will enjoy a seamless investment where their gains are expressed in terms of USD. Here’s how it works:
With LSRWA Express, you can earn stablecoin yield without having to navigate the complexities of the ecosystem. Meanwhile, our existing users can continue to benefit from the robust feature set that Landshare has to offer.
In 2024, we launched our Loan Protocol, introducing the ability to borrow USDC against LAND or LSRWA Tokens. In 2025 we’re taking the next step and allowing users to borrow against staked LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens. With this capability, you’ll be able to earn yield from three different sources at once: LSRWA appreciation, LSRWA-USDT LP staking rewards, and gains from borrowed USDC.
Here’s how it works:
As highlighted earlier, one of our primary focuses for 2025 is bringing Landshare’s innovative features to a wider audience. Unlocking the full potential of our ecosystem requires not only building great products but also effectively communicating their value. To achieve this, we have developed a two-pronged marketing strategy targeting both traditional property owners and the crypto community.
🏢 B2B Marketing
Our business-to-business (B2B) efforts are designed to increase awareness of tokenization in traditional sectors and attract property owners to the Landshare ecosystem. Key strategies include:
👥 B2C Marketing
Our business-to-consumer (B2C) strategies aim to unlock the potential of the Landshare ecosystem within the crypto community. These efforts include:
With this multi-faceted approach, we aim to bridge the gap between traditional property owners and the blockchain space while expanding our footprint in the crypto community. 2025 will be a year of bold outreach, creative campaigns, and consistent effort to bring our product to the masses.
Landshare’s Tokenization Hub represents a groundbreaking step forward in making real estate tokenization more accessible to property owners and investors alike. Designed as a comprehensive on-chain solution, it simplifies the process of bringing new properties into the Landshare ecosystem, offering property owners tools and templates to tokenize their assets seamlessly. If you’re unfamiliar with the Tokenization Hub, check out our feature preview here.
The Tokenization Hub will provide solutions for property owners, adding a new audience to the ecosystem. But what benefits can our existing users expect? In addition to new single-family rentals via our Roofstock + Forumpay collaboration, we’re opening the door to properties like Airbnbs, short-term rentals, and multi-unit complexes and improving the efficiency of our property pipeline. In doing so, we aim to grow and diversify our property selection to cater to different investor preferences.
This expanded property portfolio not only benefits investors but also strengthens the overall ecosystem. More properties mean more transaction activity, increased token utility, and greater exposure for Landshare as a pioneer in real estate tokenization.
Since the inception of Landshare, we’ve sought to make real estate a truly liquid asset. In 2024, we successfully listed LSRWA Token on DS Swap and created a LSRWA-USDT LP Staking pool, enabling LSRWA holders to trade their tokens anytime. As a result of these efforts, we are proud to say that LSRWA is among the first security tokens with a secondary market, allowing investors to trade their RWA-backed tokens 24/7/365. Recently, our DS Swap pool hit the $350k mark, a testament to the support of our community and liquidity providers.
Despite these successes, we feel there is still room for improvment with regard to LSRWA liquidity — particularly for larger holders. In 2025, we’ll be implementing the following liquidity solutions:
The NFT ecosystem has been a core pillar of Landshare, driving users toward RWA adoption for over 2 years. In 2025, we’ll be giving the NFT ecosystem a refresh designed to improve user experience and functionality. Some of the updates you can expect include:
Landshare’s foundation is stronger than ever, built on years of hard work, innovation, and the unwavering support of our community. Thank you for believing in Landshare and for being an integral part of this journey. Your feedback, enthusiasm, and commitment inspire us to push boundaries and aim higher every single day.
Stay tuned for the exciting developments ahead, and let’s continue building something extraordinary together!

Trump has won US elections, and with his second term comes a golden age for crypto, with positive regulations and unlimited opportunities. Bitcoin has already touched $91K in jubilation, with a brand new bull run already on the road. Altcoins are not behind either; in fact, CoinGecko’s 2024 Q3 crypto industry report highlighted RWA, memecoins, and more as the most popular crypto narratives!
RWA or real estate tokenization has had a good run in 2024, setting the sector up as one to see tremendous growth in this decade. A recent Tren Finance research report even predicts a 50x growth for RWA tokenization by 2030.
Out of the most popular RWAs to be tokenized this far, real estate is up there. A traditionally illiquid market now turned liquid by RWA tokenization, real estate tokenization is quickly gaining traction.
RWA tokenization refers to the process of converting ownership over real-world assets (RWAs) like real estate, art, commodities, or financial instruments like bonds or equities into digital tokens on a blockchain. One asset can be turned into one or a series of blockchain-based tokens, so an asset can essentially be purchased by multiple investors. This makes certain markets previously only accessible to HNIs and enterprises more accessible and liquid, lowering entry barriers for novice investors.
Each RWA token can represent complete or fractional ownership of an underlying asset, allowing it to be traded, transferred, or held digitally.
Multiple perks to RWA tokenization make the sector so popular to RWA owners and crypto investors alike. Some of them are:
What’s more, the use cases of RWA tokenization are vast. You can choose to tokenize everything from real estate to debt instruments to art/collectibles to commodities, making RWA a cornerstone of the DeFi movement.
As Tren Finance’s October 2024 report stated, predictions from some of the largest financial institutions and business consulting firms suggest a 50x growth for RWA by 2030.
Further forecasts say that the RWA sector could reach a market size between $4 trillion and $30 trillion, as you can see in the image below.
If the sector reaches even $10 trillion by 2030, that would be a 54-times growth from its current value of $187 billion.
As Tren Finance further captured in the report, the global RWA market stands at $867 trillion, only a small portion of which currently exists on-chain:
As the RWA tokenization sector matures, it is expected to capture more of this untapped market.
What else does the Tren Finance report note? Here’s a quick summary:
As blockchain continues integrating with TradFi, the financial markets are going through a revolution. Big players like BlackRock and Tether are expanding into RWA tokenization; the sector most definitely has the potential to completely change how people invest/trade and own assets.
Out of all the different RWA being tokenized, real estate tokenization has probably caught on the fastest. Why is that? Here’s what Landshare thinks:
Overall, real estate’s vast, underutilized potential combined with blockchain’s efficiency creates a perfect use case, naturally making it a frontrunner in the RWA tokenization space.
Landshare is a U.S.-based platform dedicated to the tokenization of real estate properties. It enables investors to acquire fractional shares in residential properties using blockchain technology, streamlining the investment process and broadening the scope of who can invest in real estate. By integrating blockchain technology into the real estate market, Landshare offers tokenized property assets on its platform, making it possible for investments to start at just $50, thus democratizing the entry into property investment.
The platform employs Real World Asset (LSRWA) tokens, granting investors partial ownership in tangible property assets and marking a notable innovation in real estate investment. Landshare's utility token, LAND, has proven its transactional effectiveness by facilitating the sale of four tokenized properties on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), demonstrating its market readiness. Addressing the traditional inefficiencies and liquidity issues in real estate, Landshare positions itself as a critical player, offering promising prospects for growth and passive income generation.
