Thaler.One, uses blockchain technology to give individual investors the opportunity to directly invest in real estate projects. We therefore think it’s important to share a few words about how the real estate market actually works, and how real estate impacts our everyday lives. It’s possible that someone who has already worked in the real estate sector might not learn anything new from reading this. But, if you are new to real estate investing, this article provides a great introduction and an overview of the real estate market and opportunities for investment.

Let’s begin by talking about real estate and how it impacts our daily lives. When most people think about investing in real estate, they usually imagine themselves buying a home that they will live in. Others aren’t ready yet to purchase their first homes, and believe that the real estate market — for now at least — doesn’t affect them.

But that’s not really true. If you reflect on it for a second, everything we do, each time we buy a coffee or lunch, go to work in an office, pay our gym membership or the rent on our apartments, we are in one way or another paying for real estate. There is an old saying that wealthy people make money from real estate that the rest of us pay for. We, however, believe that real estate investing should be open to everyone.

There are many different ways of making money by investing in the real estate sector. Property ownership is a great way not only to diversify your investment portfolio but also to protect yourself against the threat of inflation in the future. In addition, property ownership protects your assets from the ups and downs and market volatility that you often encounter when investing in stocks or bonds.

HOW TECHNOLOGY STARTUPS WILL TRANSFORM THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

Technology startups are more common than many people think. Once considered alien and high-risk, they have made their way into the $220 trillion international property market and are now poised to disrupt it, much to the benefit of ‘newcomers’.

Today, there are 1500 real estate tech companies. Startup culture and pioneering technology, such as blockchain, are the key drivers of their business. Let’s take a moment to explore the emerging relationship between the global real estate industry and the tech-startup world.

THE STARTUP CULTURE

With the startup boom, businesses began to cater to millennials and Gen Z workers by offering better working conditions and a stronger work-life balance. The new “do what you love” culture gave rise to the “shared” office model and co-working companies such as Regus and WeWork. These have become hubs of startup activity and managed to raise billions of dollars to expand their real estate footprint.

Now, the co-working spaces are branching out into housing, poised to capitalise on the increasingly expensive problem of finding an affordable apartment in a bustling city like New York or Boston. WeLive, operated by WeWork, together with Common, Bedly and Ollie, are making this possible by offering an updated version of the co-living model, which incorporates not just plenty of communal and affordable living space, but the “live better together” framework for networking. Aiming to transform the real estate market by catering to community-minded people with an entrepreneurial bent, co-living companies provide the micro luxury of moving within their housing networks without locking into long term rental agreements or having to deal with roommates.

Both the co-work and the co-live businesses offer the so-called “frictionless transaction” experience, integral to the tech-startup culture, and a long list of real estate technology companies follow their lead.

THE PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY

The rise of Web 2.0 has lowered transaction costs and opened up new ways of renting, buying and selling property: Home61, Redfin, Compass, Zillow, and a myriad of other real estate startups, have set out to implement their own versions of the technology. From search to value prediction mechanisms integrated into online services and intellectual marketplaces, technology startups have disrupted the market on a hyperlocal level by providing investors with data-driven insights to make informed decisions, while cutting out the middleman and saving thousands – sometimes tens of thousands – of dollars per transaction.

Today, blockchain, a digital ledger technology, is emerging not only as a cost-cutting opportunity, but also as the new industry standard for next-generation digital transactions in the real estate market. Thaler.One, a blockchain-based investment fund, plans to capitalise on both traditional and alternative real estate asset classes by introducing a decentralized platform that will allow small investors to buy into real estate, predominantly located in the EU and the UK, with the lowest possible transaction costs. The fund will be professionally managed, and the technology behind it will ensure borderless and secure transactions.

The decentralized platform will be powered by Thalers, blockchain-based security tokens which offer transparent legal ownership of real estate assets. According to the founders, Thalers will be issued in compliance with EU regulations and regulation D in the US. To date there are some US based real estate crowdfunding platforms, such as Cadre, Realty Mogul, Realty shares. Thaler.One is introducing the same business model powered by blockchain technology into the European real estate markets. The enterprise is set on opening up international real estate to a new global investor class, including individuals in countries and locales with limited or restricted access to traditional collective investment vehicles. To raise funds for the venture Thaler. One will conduct a pre-sale, commencing early April, 2018.

THE HIGH-DESIGN SYSTEMS

The “Apple-fication" of the global real estate industry has started. Technology startups are applying Apple's vision to reimagine the way in which housing operates, and aim to open the international property market to more private investors. However, It is impossible to tell if blockchain, in particular, becomes the new industry standard for real estate transactions. The potential is there, but only time will tell how the industry in general will adapt and evolve in the next several years.

Hello! Thank you for your question! As long as we are ready to issue Thaler.Block tokens for a project we will notify our registered users that there is a project to be tokenized. At this stage we set the valuation of the project and investors can commit their funds to acquire the tokens at fixed price. Once certain level of commitment (say, 25% of the project) is reached, we issue the tokens and distribute them to the investors. The other tokens will be offered for sale at our internal marketplace (aka Thaler.Exchange) at the price no less than the price paid by early investors.

can you explain about this ?
The Thaler.Block tokens will be sold and distributed in one of two ways:
> By using a smart contract: first, the funds from investors will be received and then Thaler.Block tokens will be issued to implement the smart contract.
> By offering already issued Thaler.Block tokens for sale on the Thaler.One exchange. In doing so, the predetermined sale price will be guaranteed to those investors who have registered on the website beforehand.

Thaler.One is the first project bringing together leading real estate, finance, legal and marketing professionals to offer individual investors a unique opportunity to invest directly in the lucrative global property market. We use state-of-the art blockchain and cryptocurrency technology to execute its vision. With decades of expertise in the real estate market, we aim to set a new industry standard for cryptocurrencies by backing Thaler tokens with real property assets, thereby creating new possibilities for both investing and financing in the real estate sector.

While offering new business opportunities, the booming crypto economy also carries numerous risks, the most significant of which is volatility. Volatility can cause a cryptocurrency to lose most — if not all — of its value in the event of a market downturn. In order to mitigate these crypto risks, we will create the Thaler token —  an easily convertible cryptocurrency whose intrinsic underlying value is directly tied to tangible real estate assets.

The Thaler token will offer investors the best of both worlds: the liquidity and ease of use of a modern blockchain cryptocurrency combined with the proven intrinsic value of prime real estate assets. Thalers will be issued to Crowdsale participants and will serve as both a cryptocurrency functioning as a secure means of payment and also as the equivalent of shares in an open-ended real estate investment fund.

90%-95% of all crowdsale proceeds will be used to acquire tangible real estate assets.  Thaler token holders will therefore earn guaranteed recurring income from real estate assets at a level of return far higher than that offered by standard financial products such as bank deposits and bonds. These premium returns will be attractive to investors who have not yet invested in cryptocurrencies. 

We will offer investors an additional opportunity to disrupt the status quo in the real estate market by taking advantage of the benefits of blockchain technology. For each tangible real estate asset in the fund, we will issue separate tokens — Thaler.Block tokens — which can be purchased by investors (Thaler.Block token holders) who wish to invest directly and design bespoke investment strategies.

Thaler.Block token holders will have the option to personally select individual real estate properties, formats and locations tied to a specific currency (e.g. USD, EUR, CHF) of their choice. This will give investors an unprecedented level of control over the risk-to-revenue ratio of their personal portfolio while at the same time taking advantage of our expertise and that of our external advisers. Each and every property acquired by the fund will be thoroughly vetted to qualify as an investment-grade asset.

This process is called crowdfunding and has been rapidly gaining popularity in the real estate market over the past two to three years. Some of the most popular U.S. internet platforms include RealtyShares, RealtyMogul and Cadre, all of which collectively attracted over $1 billion in funds from investors over the past few years.  These platforms are currently valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. However, these platforms do have limitations, the most significant of which is the absence of liquidity.  Once an investor has invested using one of these platforms, he/she must usually wait until the project end date to receive his/her funds. Our technology eliminates such limitations because tokenization of assets using blockchain technology allows for the sale or exchange of tokens at any time.

We will eventually establish an internal exchange platform allowing investors to buy, sell or exchange Thaler.Block tokens in accordance with their individual investment strategies. In addition,
blockchain technology will remove all national borders and will offer unlimited opportunities to invest in stable European real estate assets for investors residing in closed-market economies or in economies with restricted access to international investments.

Certain commissions and fees will be charged for the issuance of Thaler.Block tokens. These commissions will generate additional returns on top of the recurring income generated by direct real estate assets for Thaler holders. With this idea in mind, we plan to shake up the global property market, which attracts an estimated $750 billion dollars in total investments each year.

Real estate has historically shown stable long-term growth, outperforming even precious metals in the long run. While extremely lucrative for both corporate and private investors, private investors usually face a structural disadvantage. This is because investments of less than one million dollars can only expect to generate low single digit annual returns —  not much more than the average interest rate offered by banks on deposits. In stark contrast, corporate investors, who usually have tens of millions of dollars to invest, can take advantage of their access to wide range of financial tools: mezzanine loans, investment in development projects, etc.  These tools and the amount of money they have at their disposal allow corporate investors to leverage their buying power and secure significantly higher returns on their investments as a result.

Our blockchain platform will eliminate middlemen to offer individual investors — irrespective of their country of residence, nationality or other restrictions — the opportunity to generate maximum returns from real estate investments, all while preserving the liquidity and principal value of their investments.
