Chin is a hard working single father of two that works at the local University. He wouldn’t consider himself a financial genius but more of a risk averse saver. He pays the bills each month and whatever is left over after contributing to the University sponsored retirement plan goes into savings. He has always had an interest in the stock market but hasn’t found much luck there, in fact he has tried playing in the market a few times and was burned badly– he now doesn’t trust the volatility of the stock market. Being a single father, he knows he can’t take the risks that he did when he was younger, he has college funds and weddings to save for in the future.

If Chin isn’t at the University teaching he is deep into one of his many books, he is an avid learner and loves studying economics in his free time and has taken an interest to cryptocurrency. He’s been following cryptocurrency for the last year and believes digital currency is the future. He is such a big fan of ETH that he pulled several thousand from savings to invest in ETH. He loves Ethereum for several reasons including the fact that it’s decentralized, it’s all contained in the blockchain, it’s immutable, it can’t be manipulated by a government body, and it’s a liquid market with over 150 billion market cap. He also believes in the technology behind ether and that the blockchain can really disrupt the way that we record and track assets. He believes it’s only a matter of time before most all physical assets are tokenized and part of the blockchain.

Chin heard about RealtyReturns.io from a friend that attended a slush conference in Shanghai. One of the main speakers at the conference was the founder of a new real estate portal that traded ETH for real estate, his friend heard this entrepreneur speak about transforming real estate by making cross-border investments seamless and simple providing opportunities for income producing properties and capital appreciation with an investment as low as 2 ETH, this really impressed him. His friend told him that he could take his ETH and invest directly into residential, office, or multi-family fractional real estate opportunities in the US.

The more Chin looked into this real estate portal the more impressed he was with the concept of investing in tokenized security assets in the US. After all, he has always secretly wanted to invest in US real estate but didn’t think he would ever have a chance, he didn’t have large sums of cash sitting around to be invested in overseas properties and he never had the right connections to the deals to begin with, what seemed impossible now is a few clicks away. After spending time reading the white paper and then investigating the founders of the company he decided that not only was it a great business model, but that the team behind Realtyreturns.io has done this before and has a successful track record.

After reviewing several different real estate investment opportunities Chin found an income producing property that really stood out, it would be the one he ultimately invested in. Part of him wondered if he could really purchase a property internationally through a website when he had heard so many nightmare stories about purchasing real estate abroad, could it really be that easy? After going through KYC and AML within a few days he had fractional tokenized property that would distribute monthly income, he was absolutely delighted at his newest asset that would become part of his retirement plan. He was amazed at how easy it was for him to invest in a cross-border investment in a few days that should have taken 6–12 months if you were lucky. He also bypassed expensive financing and third-party fees that plaque those that invest abroad.

When Chin made that first investment in tokenized real estate it motivated him to diversify further. He knew that if he continued to save he could purchase more ETH and then more fractional ownership of other properties on the platform– he could diversify regionally and by type of real estate asset. The next investment he was saving for was a tokenized class A triple net lease property with positive cash flow. Chin smiles at the thought of being a commercial property owner of US real estate, all on his professor salary, now about to become reality.

Chin represents what could be possible through the blockchain and that anyone who has 2 ETH can invest in fractional real estate in the US. Learn how RealtyReturns.io could make that possible.
