When people are growing up and entering into adulthood, it is a goal of many people to purchase a home or own some real estate. However, buying a home or other property in the modern day is a lot different than buying in the past. Prices have skyrocketed in most areas of the world and this makes it quite difficult for most people to afford real estate, whether it be a home, apartment complex or business.
In order to buy a house on your own (or even with a spouse) you will need a sizeable down payment and even then, you might be looking at a mortgage that is well over a few hundred thousand dollars. For many people, this is too much and they begin to lose hope that they will ever be able to afford a home.
However, just like it has had a massive impact on various industries, technology might have the solution to this worldwide problem. In particular, the advancements in blockchain technology has brought about a solution to not being able to afford home ownership, and it is called Atlant. This article will look at Atlant and how it works, the features included in the platform and more.
What is Atlant and How Does it Work?
Atlant is a real estate platform on the blockchain that is making it easier than ever to get involved with home ownership. They do this by offering a tokenized ownership solution that is truly unique.
It is a very interesting process and could help a lot more people to get into real estate, without needing a ton of cash. The first step is that a property owner puts out a request to list the property on Atlant. Once an attorney or qualified professional ensures the property requirements meet the qualifications and make sure everything on the real estate title is clean.
Next, Atlant tokenizes the property by dividing the total value into tokens. 1 token equals 1 mm squared of the property, so there is a direct relationship between the tokens and the entire property value. After that has been done, Atlant will place the customer PTO (property token offering) on its trading platform, and individuals or businesses from around the world can purchase and own a portion of the property.
This will continue until the entire value of the property has been sold. Next, the previous owner will be paid and then the PTO tokens will be available to buy, sell and trade on the Atlant decentralized exchange. Those who purchased the tokens and shares in the property will be able to profit from rental income as well as take advantage of price changes on the property as well.
P2P Rental Service
