Cross-Border Real Estate Investing is About to Get Easier With Security Tokens
International real estate investors continue to invest their money in the U.S real estate market. Global investors want to put their money in commercial investments in countries that they can rely upon the most, and the U.S market continues to be the most predictable market in the world.
Experts agree that the U.S is the most popular destination for International real estate investment because it offers the best combination of principal protection and capital appreciation in the near future. Here are the key factors influencing that decision process:
Relative political and economic stability
Strong market fundamentals
Access to capital
The potential for advantageous regulatory and tax reform
“Compared to other destinations for global real estate capital, the U.S. continues to be very attractive,” says Mark Eagan, head of Hogan Lovells real estate practice. “And the factors driving that are unlikely to change.”
Cross-border residential and Commercial Real estate has always been appealing to investors of all types, but many haven’t been able to enjoy the returns US real estate provides because of the many barriers to entry. According to The National Association of Realtors International clients didn’t purchase U.S real estate because they weren’t able to find the right investment property, high cost of purchase, difficulty transferring funds across border, Immigration laws and visa issues, financing, prohibitive U.S tax laws, exchange rates, and loss of home country benefits to name a few.
Real estate tokenization will remove the barriers previously stated and democratize real estate access across the globe. By offering fractional real estate through the blockchain real estate becomes more liquid and more accessible.
As Brad Greiwe managing partner of fifth wall ventures put it when describing the impact blockchain would have on real estate:
“Tokenization is probably the most interesting thing we think about on a daily basis because companies like Harbor are going to create opportunities as we’ve never seen before. The most important takeaway that we should all be focused on is the democratization of access to the largest wealth creator that the world has ever seen.”
