awesome content for good evening reading
Most traditional industries and markets tend to have numerous restrictions when it comes to letting new participants in. Majority of these restriction revolves around geographical and economic limitations. The internet has led to an increased importance in disseminating information across several industries, playing a critical role in financial globalization.
Financial globalization has afforded investors the opportunity to distribute risk and tap into diverse markets where productivity and investment returns are higher through portfolio diversification. Buoyed by technological advancements — especially the improved connectivity, mobility, and socialization capabilities of the internet, financial globalization continues to expand the appetite of investors from equity to bonds, and now properties. It is in the real estate market that financial globalization has afforded investors great maneuverability, creating new investment vehicles that tackles the industry’s problem and pushing down barriers to Foreign Direct investments.
With the internet, investors no longer have to cruise from town to town looking a “For Sale” sign or ramp up subscription to homeowner magazines when they can just search for any property anywhere, anytime. Properties can be invested into directly or indirectly through REITs and unlisted funds. The technology has also helped developers, agents, brokers, and sellers expand their reach and market penetration through cheaper ad platforms (compared to print media) and instantaneous communication. However, despite this boom, certain hurdles, such as political risk, legal barriers for foreign and domestic investors, access to capital accounts, and taxation has restricted market potentials, investors access and confidence.
To tackle this problem, the blockchain’s distributed, decentralized, and immutable ledger system has emerged as the definitive technology underpinning the development of any solution. However, transacting on the blockchain can be the head scratcher for the ordinary user.
Real Estate Investment made Easy
Explaining what a private and public key is to the common man, how it’s neither a pin or a password, and how you need to set gas price and amount before transact can quickly devolve into a tongue twisting venture. Of course, having a tamperproof, disintermediated and decentralized technology that cannot be owned or hijacked by any entity is great, but the hops involved in getting there is often off-putting for most, especially for businesses. The ideal solution would be the development of a platform that exposes the ordinary investor to the benefits of the blockchain without cramming a bunch of technicalities down their throat in the same breath. Investors should be able to leverage the blockchain to bring clarity, accountability, and accessibility to investment opportunities without any barrier to entry. Elements Estates is putting the blockchain in the hands of investors with none of the complications.
Elements Estates let investors tap into the real estate market without the traditional risks and limitations through a decentralized and disintermediated platform on the blockchain. And even with the solution being built on something as cutting-edge and new-fangled as the blockchain, the ordinary investor doesn’t need to grapple with all the new concepts it entails as Elements Estates gives users the ability to invest using fiat, while still reaping the benefits of the blockchain. Take Tom for example. He sees a property in Croatia and figures out that all this caterpillar needs to blossom into a butterfly is just some renovation. Market research backs up his claim. So, he logs onto Elements Estates to present the property and vote for it using the platform’s native ELES tokens. But wait, he doesn’t have these tokens to vote… what does he do?
Through third-party liquidity partners, Elements Estates enable fiat-based investors to speedily change their money for tokens. This exchange is governed by smart contracts, ensuring that there is neither delay nor ambiguity in the transaction. With his tokens in hand, Tom can now vote for the renovation of the property and because the community agrees with him by voting too, Elements Estates renovates the property, putting it up for holiday rental during summer months and also for sale after the tourist/holiday season. But there’s more to ELES tokens than just voting.

EE will play here important role!
Owning residential buildings for rental remains the most popular option for most people looking to invest in real estate, after all, food, clothing, and shelter are the basic necessities of life. Also, owning what could be turned into a second home with minimal effort or sold when the equity of the house appreciates sounds like the best of both worlds.
Not really.
When it comes to real estate investment options, rentals pales in comparison to the exciting prospects in Commercial Real Estates (CRE) for investors looking to diversify and balance their portfolio.
CRE offers individuals a direct path to passive Investment and high-income potentials across several industries with lower risk. Passive investment gives contributors a hands-off approach to investment, enabling them to literally “invest and forget about it” — no need for making daily decisions about the investment itself. This option is most appealing especially to less savvy investors, who are not required to be knowledgeable about the asset class they are investing from fund managers.

To be able to do so and enable above-average liquidity of the token, ElementsEStates have designed the entire process in a way that the ELES token will be the only means of payment for all services and properties in portfolio, and that the token supply will decrease with every transaction

Interesting reviews on ICOBench:
https://icobench.com/ico/elements-estates
Very interesting commercial idea. I can see deployment here and the team looks serious and with the right competencies to actually carry this through. Will follow this closely.
Interesting project on real estate. However, utilising ELES tokens to buy real estates might be tough simply because of the volatility of cryptocurrencies and especially alt coins. Seen a lot of projects that tried doing this but none have succeeded so far. However, would love to see how this team take it to the next level.
The project is targeting a niche, distressed assets. They have a team with experience in the real estate industry but I do note that the blockchain development side looks to be an external party rather than in-house developers.
The IRR is attractive but no financial projections are detailed in the paper.
I like the introduction of voting and the lock down of 50% of tokens - though I am interested in what hedging strategies are in place for these locked funds? potentially this could be significant value and any change in market conditions will have a detrimental effect.
I think the project has alot of potential. Really the key for success is seeking adoption early to fund the commencement of the portfolio.

EE in famous Slovenian crypto magazine
From 2016 creating ICOs has become really popular with start-up projects around the globe. We have seen a lot of sectors take a big turn and added blockchain technology to their idea. As a result, we have witnesed a lot of ideas come to life. Now we have an interesting review of a real estate project that has set foundations on blockchain technology.
The project is Slovenian based startup called Elements Estates. The project will encompass the novel ideas of cryptocurrencies and asset management through decentralized ledgers, based on blockchain technology. They are building an online platform that will introduce to the market real estate initially deriving from distress asset at favorable prices. Until recently, this type of deals in the SEE region were mainly accessible only to large scale institutional and wealthy private investors because of their size and complexity to purchase.

Elements Estates is creating through its platform a closed ecosystem. In this ecosystem platforms native tokens (ELES tokens) will be used as the main or exclusive payment for all the services provided on the platform. Elements Estates real estate projects will be structured in to three main catagories:
Tourism: Theese will be the properties (within the portfolio on the platform) that will be rentable for a certain period of time. You will be able to rent an apartment with ELES tokens.
Commercial: Theese properties will be used exclusive for bussiness purposes.
Residential: The main sector on the platform will be residential real estate – properties that will be used for individuals and families for living.
ELES platform process description
In the private-presale process, contributors will also be able to submit their contributions in fiat currency besides BTC, ETH and BNB tokens. However, only BTC, ETH and BNB tokens will be accepted in public-presale and the ICO.
Funds will be transferred to Belize or EU regulated entity. This entity will then acquire real estate portfolio through local SPVs.
The Elements Estates team aims to unlock the hidden value of the real estate via restructuring and development when required and then list finalised properties on ELES platform.
Sell process or renting units. Buyers (non-ELES token holders) and contributors will be able to buy or rent units only with ELES tokens. Buyers (non-ELES holders) will be able to acquire tokens through crypto exchange or they will pay to ELES platform in fiat currency and platform will then, according to the mentioned limitations, buy tokens for them on exchange in shortest possible time. In case of higher demand for ELES tokens, ELES platform will add additional liquidity through Liquidity pool.

The Elements Estates platform is a #decentralized platform, but what is ''decentralized'' really? In the #blockchain world it means that no centralized data storage instrument is used and the information is available for everybody within the network. So no intermediaries at all.
many people don't know what blockchain means
it is important to educate newbies and investors so they will know what they invest - invest into future

Reflection on the value growth of the ELES token
A small part of the crowd sale funds will go to the development of the platform, while the majority will be distributed to building the real estate portfolio. With the increase of real estate over a period of time, more and more properties will become available for rent and sale. With every transaction, a certain amount of tokens will be locked for a certain period of time and taken out of circulation. This will have a positive effect on the token value.
perfect solution!

From an article of ELES token
ELES token
Official token of Elements Estates project will be the ELES token. The token will be backed on an ERC20 standard and will be deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. The network will provide users a transparent overview of the transactions made on the platform. Elements Estates is looking for a solution to provide transparent picture of real estate projects in every phase. We know that in real estate you can’t go without legal paperwork so that is why there will be smart contracts. Unfortunatelly, as the majority of the land registries around the globe is still not yet fully digitalized, the final step will have to be done in the traditional way for now.
Through the consultative management of the fund, up to 20 percent of issued ELES tokens will be kept as a liquidity fund. This means that because a large amount of traffic is expected in certain periods by token use, Elements Estates can ensure that in these peaks of token demands they will be able to partially assist with supply of tokens on the market and at the market price, but only up to 50 percent of requested amount of tokens. Those who will use ELES tokens will have the ability to convert the funds back into Fiat currencies through Elements Estates partner with payment solution.

Amazing good morning reading
Strong investors’ confidence and demand is the driver behind the market boom. Investors’ confidence in a “bright” future always translate into more purchases in anticipation of selling at a higher price in the future, resulting in speculations. The increased purchasing demands means companies have to boost supply by acquiring the necessary manpower for raising production level. With easy access to capital and liquidity, investors, businesses, and now speculators can borrow at very low rates, stimulating more demand. But what happens when the market overheats from the friction caused by demand outstripping supply or too much money chasing a limited supply? A bust is on the horizon
It doesn’t matter how well or carefully managed, a bubble will always bust in the end, especially one carried by euphoria and a callous disregard for caution. Such was the state of the real estate industry in the early and mid-2000s where the mania over owning a house grew to such alarming levels that strict lending requirements were abandoned and interest rates drove into the ground. The mania drove speculators into the market, who were flipping houses for quick gains within a short period of time. At its peak, 30% of the market valuation was supported by speculative activity
