The real estate market is witnessing a transformative shift with the introduction of blockchain technology, particularly through the concept of tokenization. This innovative approach is redefining property ownership, offering new opportunities for investment and liquidity. 

If you are an investor in real estate, you might have reaped the benefits of tokenized real estate investments. However, real estate tokenization not only opens a new avenue for real estate investors but also brings forth advantages to property owners. 

Tokenization allows property owners to convert real estate assets into digital tokens, thereby simplifying transactions and broadening investor access. Liquidity and fractionalization are key benefits in tokenized real estate but for property owners within the ecosystem could see more than this. 

In the following blog, let's explore more compelling use cases of tokenization for property owners including house flipping, partial sales, and tokenizing cash flows, backed by real statistics and figures to illustrate its growing impact.

What Benefits Real Estate Tokenization Bring?

Tokenization is a process of creating a digital identity of a tangible financial asset on blockchain which is unique and anonymous. This method takes the value of an asset on a chain. It brings benefits such as fractional ownership, liquidity, enhanced security and transparency. Currencies, commodities, real estate properties and art pieces are the common tokenized assets. 

As an investor, you can enjoy investing in multiple assets through fractional ownership reaping the benefits of varied returns on respective assets. Real estate sector is traditionally one of the most illiquid ones since it takes time to sell off a property which requires time and effort but tokenization solves such pain points. 

Just a few examples of how tokenization can be used for property owners

We have already discussed the pros and cons of tokenized real estate investments in earlier pieces. Along with the investors, tokenization resolves issues for property owners. The tokenized real estate properties can be sold off in units that increase higher chances of sale. Following are more crucial advantages of tokenized real estate for property owners. 

House Flipping

Traditionally the practice of purchasing properties, renovating them and then selling them in profit is house flipping. It needs a hefty amount upfront and since the market turns or unexpected costs are also crucial factors, there are risks included in the process. But inclusion of tokenization could mitigate these risks to some extent also resolving issues related to liquidity. 

The house flippers could sell fractional shares of the property as tokens in exchange for the required amount. Let’s say a flipper buys a property for $300,000 and needs $50,000 for renovations. Now they could issue 350,000 tokens valued at $1 each to raise the renovation funds. This way they can not only speed up the process but also manage to diversify the risk.

Partial Sales

Tokenization also allows partial sales that enable property owners selling a fraction of their property to different investors. Though the method could be useful for any real estate property, the markets with high-value properties such as the United States can benefit the most. This way the property owners bear no debt and it becomes a great alternative to home equity line of credit (HELOC).

Property owners can sell out their shares of property to a pool of investors after tokenizing it. For instance, a property owner takes 60% ownership and sells the rest 40% of the property. Along with the democratization of real estate investment, this approach also provides liquidity to owners to invest in more ventures or even make improvements in the real estate property.

Tokenizing Cash Flow

One of the innovative ways to secure the funding along with providing regular income to investors is through tokenization of rental properties’ cash flows. You as an owner of a real estate property that generates $10,000 per month through rent could use the method and tokenize this case flow while offering tokens that represent a share in the rental income. This method attracts investors seeking stable returns without the need for large capital investments. 

A Deloitte report states that by offering such fractional ownership and investment opportunities, tokenization could grow the liquidity of global real estate assets by over $1.4 trillion.

Benefits of Third-Party Tokenization with Landshare

At Landshare, we've dedicated ourselves to democratizing real estate investment, and our efforts have culminated in the Landshare RWA Token. This innovative product empowers anyone to generate passive income from real-world assets with an investment as low as $1.

The benefits of our tokenization process extend beyond just investors. Property owners—whether individuals, corporate entities, investment clubs, or funds—now have a powerful tool at their disposal. Through tokenization, both investors and property owners can cultivate a relationship that is mutually advantageous.

As we build on our strong base of RWA investors, our next objective is to enable property owners to tokenize their assets through the Landshare platform. This capability will allow them to raise funds and secure loans against their properties, enhancing the value provided to our existing LSRWA investors.

Tokenization offers property owners a range of strategic advantages. It isn't merely about listing properties for sale. Its true value lies in its ability to provide liquidity and allow for the fractional ownership of properties. Alternatively, they can borrow against the future cash flow from their properties, maintaining their stake while obtaining upfront cash. 

Landshare has always been taking bold and unique steps for the sake of community and is now looking to include property owners, who remain at the other end of spectrum, along with the investors. 

This initiative is set to broaden the array of properties available on our platform, diversify our offerings with new property types including vacation homes and commercial spaces, and expand our reach beyond the U.S. It also introduces new mintable NFTs, enriching our investors' options.

The Broader Impact and Future Outlook

The broader impact of real estate tokenization is significant, offering increased liquidity, reduced transaction costs, and enhanced market efficiency. A study by the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2027, 10% of the global GDP will be stored on blockchain technology, with real estate being a major component of this shift. 

This adoption indicates a robust future where tokenization not only makes real estate investment more accessible but also more integrated with global financial markets, allowing for seamless international transactions and diversified portfolios.

Tokenization stands out as a revolutionary tool in real estate, providing property owners and investors with novel ways to manage and profit from their assets. As the technology matures and regulatory frameworks develop, the possibilities for tokenization in real estate will likely expand, further unlocking the potential of properties as both investment vehicles and sources of revenue.

About Landshare

Landshare is a platform for tokenizing property in the United States. It allows investors to buy shares in residential properties through blockchain tokens. This method has simplified the investment process and made real estate investment accessible to a broader audience. Landshare merges blockchain technology with the real estate sector by offering tokenized real estate assets on its platform, enabling investments as low as $1 and democratizing access to property investment. 

The platform utilizes Real World Asset (LSRWA) tokens to offer investors shared ownership in actual property assets, which is a significant innovation in real estate investment. Landshare's utility token, LAND, has proven its transactional efficiency with the successful sale of four tokenized properties on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), showcasing its market readiness. By addressing inefficiencies and liquidity challenges in traditional real estate, Landshare is emerging as a pivotal player, providing attractive opportunities for growth and passive income.

Global Investors to Access $337T Real Estate Market Through US-based Crypto Projects

US crypto projects open doors to 337 trillion in real estate
By

Landshare Team

With Bitcoin dropping by more than 12% in the past seven days and Ethereum by 24% in the past month, investors are seeking alternatives in these unstable market conditions. To diversify their portfolios with less volatile bets, global investors are targeting the $337T real estate market.

The real estate market is known for its entry barriers due to the heavy capital investment required. However, several US-based crypto projects are changing this through real estate tokenization. 

One project leading this revolution is Landshare. So, let’s see what’s driving this change and why tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are seen as the next big thing in the investment circuit right now.

Real Estate Tokenization Industry to Reach $19.4 Billion by 2033

Traditional real estate investing has mostly been a playground for the ultra-wealthy and institutional players. A single property often requires six-figure minimums, while cross-border deals involve high legal complexity. 

RWA tokens change the game. By fractionalizing property ownership, blockchain helps investors buy shares for as little as $1. This shift mirrors the stock market’s evolution from exclusive trading floors to smartphone apps. But, of course, decentralization plays a huge role here.

Moreover, regulatory clarity under frameworks and the SEC’s maturing stance on security tokens provide a stable foundation. Meanwhile, institutional giants like JPMorgan and BlackRock have begun experimenting with tokenized assets. This too brings in confidence in the model for retail investors.

How U.S. Crypto Projects Are Leading the RWA Change?

While global platforms have made healthy progress in their tokenization efforts, American crypto projects like Landshare hold distinct advantages:

Institutional Trust
: U.S. legal structures attract risk-averse capital.
Tech Infrastructure
: Strong DeFi platforms (e.g., Chainlink, Aave) allow for smooth asset management.
Liquidity
: Selling real estate in the US can be challenging because of the legal complexity. However, trading RWA tokens is quite simple and provides almost instant liquidity to the investors. 

Why Landshare Stands Out as a Top RWA Contender?

Real Utility Over Hype: Investors actively seek value-adding projects rather than hype machines. Landshare, with its tokenization utility, is a strong contender for long-term gains in this digital economy. Unlike speculative RWA projects, Landshare’s security tokens represent legal stakes in U.S. properties. Investors also earn passive income from rent.

Scarcity & Burns: With 5.34 million tokens (all circulating) and a burn mechanism on every RWA purchase, LAND is inherently deflationary in nature. In contrast, many competitors have no supply cap or burning mechanisms.

Real Properties Tokenized: Landshare has already sold 4 U.S. homes via BNB Smart Chain, with deeds tied to RWA Tokens. This shows its focus on actually profiting from real estate deals, unlike competitors relying primarily on hype for price growth. 

Revenue Model: Rental income and appreciation distributed to investors; with annual returns exceeding 8.7%.

BNB Chain Advantage: Ethereum’s gas fees make micro-investments impractical. Landshare’s BNB Chain base allows for fractional ownership and targets retail demand.

Undervalued Entry: At a $3.11 Million market cap, Landshare offers higher growth chances than other overvalued RWA competitors despite similar revenue streams.

SAFU Investment: Structured under U.S. regulatory guidelines, Landshare has given special importance to compliance and security.

Moreover, LAND has delivered consistent ROI through property appreciation and rental distributions. This undervalued status highlights a perfect opportunity for investors looking for projects with high potential.

Conclusion 

So, the road ahead is clear: tokenization will absorb a growing share of the $337T real estate market. For investors, these benefits offer balance and profitability:

Diversification: Allocate fractions of capital across global markets.
Liquidity
: Trade property shares 24/7 on secondary markets.
Transparency: Blockchain’s immutable ledger reduces fraud risk.

For U.S. projects, the challenge lies in scaling while maintaining compliance. This gap too has been filled by Landshare. With plans to expand its property portfolio, this RWA token allows users to invest in the real estate industry at low costs and earn high long-term gains.

Landshare's Loan Protocol: Access Liquidity Without Selling Your Tokens

How to access liquidity without selling LAND tokens
By
logos

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 Loan 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 

The Promise of Loan Protocol 

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. 

How does it work? 

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.

How to borrow USDC using LSRWA and LAND

The process of borrowing USDC by pawning your LSRWA and LAND tokens is straightforward. Let’s walk through it: 

  1. As discussed, there are two pools for each of the tokens: LSRWA and LAND. Press the Borrow button of the pool against which you want to borrow USDC. 
  1. Next, a pop-up will appear on your screen. Enter the amount of USDC you wish to borrow. Once you do that, the collateral amount will be displayed immediately. 
  1. Now, simply press the Borrow button and approve the transaction in your wallet. You will be able to see the borrowed USDC in your wallet. 

How to lend USDC using LSRWA and LAND

You can lend your stablecoins through this protocol and earn 10% APY. The process is simple. Let’s look at it: 

  1. This time, press the Supply button. 

  1. Next, a pop-up will appear on the screen. Enter the amount you can supply and hit the " Supply" button.

Enhanced Capital Efficiency with $LSRWA

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:

  1.  LSRWA appreciation
  2.  LSRWA-USDT LP staking rewards
  3.  Gains from borrowed USDC

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.

Final Note

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.

Without further ado, let’s dive in!

💡 A Shared Vision for the Future

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.

  • Expanding the property portfolio with more diverse options, including Airbnbs and multi-unit buildings.
  • Exploring cross-chain opportunities to extend Landshare’s reach.
  • Making consistent UI/UX upgrades to enhance the platform.
  • Continuing YouTube and Web2 marketing initiatives.
  • Additional CEX listings.

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.

⏩ LSRWA Express

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:

  1. Complete KYC: Users will need to complete KYC in order to access LSRWA Express. Using Swipelux ZeroID, this process can be completed in a few moments.
  2. Deposit Stablecoins: Users can then deposit and lock stablecoins for a specific period of time.
  3. LSRWA Acquisition: The deposit contract will use the stablecoins to acquire LSRWA Tokens on behalf of the user.
  4. Yield Generation: LSRWA are auto-redeemed for USDC each month on behalf of all LSRWA Express users. Gains are reflected to the user and harvestable as USDC immediately.
  5. Withdrawal: When the lockup period has passed, users can withdraw their principle in the form of stablecoins or choose to continue staking.

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.

💸 Maximize LSRWA yields with new borrowing strategies

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:

  1. Create LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens: This is the same process as it stands now — visit DS Swap and add USDT and LSRWA to the pool.
  2. Wrap LSRWA-USDT LP Tokens: Rather than staking LSRWA-USDT directly, you will deposit them into a wrapped LSRWA-USDT LP Token. The tokens deposited into the wrapped contract will then be deposited into the vault, still earning a LAND yield.
  3. Borrow USDC: Finally, with wrapped LSRWA-USDT Tokens in hand, visit the Landshare Loan protocol and borrow USDC.

Marketing Strategy

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:

  • Animated Explainer Videos
  • Targeted YouTube Ads
  • YouTube Influencers
  • Google Ads Campaigns
  • Facebook & Reddit Ads
  • Educational Content

👥 B2C Marketing
Our business-to-consumer (B2C) strategies aim to unlock the potential of the Landshare ecosystem within the crypto community. These efforts include:

  • Co-Marketing Initiatives
  • Twitter Spaces Participation
  • YouTube & Twitter KOLs Outreach
  • Ongoing Short-Term Events
  • Crypto-Focused Podcasts
  • Community-Led Growth

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.

🏘️ Property Expansion

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.

🏦 Improving liquidity options for LSRWA

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:

  • OTC Sales: Offering the ability to conditionally sell larger LSRWA sums at a moderately discounted price, instilling confidence in larger buyers.
  • Rental Income Buybacks: Proposing the use of a portion of rental income to buy back LSRWA on DS Swap and add liquidity, increasing price, reducing LSRWA supply and increasing liquidity. This change would require a vote of LSRWA holders.
  • DS Swap adjustments: Using primary sale funds to buy back and burn tokens on DS Swap when the price dips below NAV, generating a small profit for LSRWA holders and ensuring tokens can be sold on DS Swap for a reasonable price.

🔃 NFT Refresh

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:

  • UX enhancements: Simplified navigation and bug fixes to improve the day-to-day experience of users.
  • Easy onboarding: Improved clarity for how the ecosystem works and how to get started.
  • Marketplace 2.0: A major overhaul to the NFT marketplace UI, plus added functionality like the ability to list premium upgrade NFTs.
  • New NFTs: New properties means new NFTs — each successful property offering on the Tokenization Hub will create a produce a brand new NFT.

Conclusion

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!

How Investors and Property Owners Reap the Benefits of Tokenization

The real estate market is witnessing a transformative shift with the introduction of blockchain technology, particularly through the concept of tokenization. This innovative approach is redefining property ownership, offering new opportunities for investment and liquidity. 

If you are an investor in real estate, you might have reaped the benefits of tokenized real estate investments. However, real estate tokenization not only opens a new avenue for real estate investors but also brings forth advantages to property owners. 

Tokenization allows property owners to convert real estate assets into digital tokens, thereby simplifying transactions and broadening investor access. Liquidity and fractionalization are key benefits in tokenized real estate but for property owners within the ecosystem could see more than this. 

In the following blog, let's explore more compelling use cases of tokenization for property owners including house flipping, partial sales, and tokenizing cash flows, backed by real statistics and figures to illustrate its growing impact.

What Benefits Real Estate Tokenization Bring?

Tokenization is a process of creating a digital identity of a tangible financial asset on blockchain which is unique and anonymous. This method takes the value of an asset on a chain. It brings benefits such as fractional ownership, liquidity, enhanced security and transparency. Currencies, commodities, real estate properties and art pieces are the common tokenized assets. 

As an investor, you can enjoy investing in multiple assets through fractional ownership reaping the benefits of varied returns on respective assets. Real estate sector is traditionally one of the most illiquid ones since it takes time to sell off a property which requires time and effort but tokenization solves such pain points. 

Just a few examples of how tokenization can be used for property owners

We have already discussed the pros and cons of tokenized real estate investments in earlier pieces. Along with the investors, tokenization resolves issues for property owners. The tokenized real estate properties can be sold off in units that increase higher chances of sale. Following are more crucial advantages of tokenized real estate for property owners. 

House Flipping

Traditionally the practice of purchasing properties, renovating them and then selling them in profit is house flipping. It needs a hefty amount upfront and since the market turns or unexpected costs are also crucial factors, there are risks included in the process. But inclusion of tokenization could mitigate these risks to some extent also resolving issues related to liquidity. 

The house flippers could sell fractional shares of the property as tokens in exchange for the required amount. Let’s say a flipper buys a property for $300,000 and needs $50,000 for renovations. Now they could issue 350,000 tokens valued at $1 each to raise the renovation funds. This way they can not only speed up the process but also manage to diversify the risk.

Partial Sales

Tokenization also allows partial sales that enable property owners selling a fraction of their property to different investors. Though the method could be useful for any real estate property, the markets with high-value properties such as the United States can benefit the most. This way the property owners bear no debt and it becomes a great alternative to home equity line of credit (HELOC).

Property owners can sell out their shares of property to a pool of investors after tokenizing it. For instance, a property owner takes 60% ownership and sells the rest 40% of the property. Along with the democratization of real estate investment, this approach also provides liquidity to owners to invest in more ventures or even make improvements in the real estate property.

Tokenizing Cash Flow

One of the innovative ways to secure the funding along with providing regular income to investors is through tokenization of rental properties’ cash flows. You as an owner of a real estate property that generates $10,000 per month through rent could use the method and tokenize this case flow while offering tokens that represent a share in the rental income. This method attracts investors seeking stable returns without the need for large capital investments. 

A Deloitte report states that by offering such fractional ownership and investment opportunities, tokenization could grow the liquidity of global real estate assets by over $1.4 trillion.

Benefits of Third-Party Tokenization with Landshare

At Landshare, we've dedicated ourselves to democratizing real estate investment, and our efforts have culminated in the Landshare RWA Token. This innovative product empowers anyone to generate passive income from real-world assets with an investment as low as $1.

The benefits of our tokenization process extend beyond just investors. Property owners—whether individuals, corporate entities, investment clubs, or funds—now have a powerful tool at their disposal. Through tokenization, both investors and property owners can cultivate a relationship that is mutually advantageous.

As we build on our strong base of RWA investors, our next objective is to enable property owners to tokenize their assets through the Landshare platform. This capability will allow them to raise funds and secure loans against their properties, enhancing the value provided to our existing LSRWA investors.

Tokenization offers property owners a range of strategic advantages. It isn't merely about listing properties for sale. Its true value lies in its ability to provide liquidity and allow for the fractional ownership of properties. Alternatively, they can borrow against the future cash flow from their properties, maintaining their stake while obtaining upfront cash. 

Landshare has always been taking bold and unique steps for the sake of community and is now looking to include property owners, who remain at the other end of spectrum, along with the investors. 

This initiative is set to broaden the array of properties available on our platform, diversify our offerings with new property types including vacation homes and commercial spaces, and expand our reach beyond the U.S. It also introduces new mintable NFTs, enriching our investors' options.

The Broader Impact and Future Outlook

The broader impact of real estate tokenization is significant, offering increased liquidity, reduced transaction costs, and enhanced market efficiency. A study by the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2027, 10% of the global GDP will be stored on blockchain technology, with real estate being a major component of this shift. 

This adoption indicates a robust future where tokenization not only makes real estate investment more accessible but also more integrated with global financial markets, allowing for seamless international transactions and diversified portfolios.

Tokenization stands out as a revolutionary tool in real estate, providing property owners and investors with novel ways to manage and profit from their assets. As the technology matures and regulatory frameworks develop, the possibilities for tokenization in real estate will likely expand, further unlocking the potential of properties as both investment vehicles and sources of revenue.

About Landshare

Landshare is a platform for tokenizing property in the United States. It allows investors to buy shares in residential properties through blockchain tokens. This method has simplified the investment process and made real estate investment accessible to a broader audience. Landshare merges blockchain technology with the real estate sector by offering tokenized real estate assets on its platform, enabling investments as low as $1 and democratizing access to property investment. 

The platform utilizes Real World Asset (LSRWA) tokens to offer investors shared ownership in actual property assets, which is a significant innovation in real estate investment. Landshare's utility token, LAND, has proven its transactional efficiency with the successful sale of four tokenized properties on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), showcasing its market readiness. By addressing inefficiencies and liquidity challenges in traditional real estate, Landshare is emerging as a pivotal player, providing attractive opportunities for growth and passive income.
