  1. THE PROBLEM

Barriers to Real Estate Investment

High Entry Costs

Real estate has long been seen as a safe and lucrative investment, but the high initial capital required often puts it out of reach for most individuals.

Purchasing property typically involves significant financial commitments, including down payments, mortgages, and associated legal fees.

These costs create a substantial barrier for small investors or those without access to large amounts of capital, limiting participation to a select group of wealthy individuals and institutional investors.

Lack of Liquidity

One of the fundamental challenges of real estate investment is the lack of liquidity. Unlike stocks or bonds, real estate assets cannot be easily or quickly sold without significant transaction costs and delays.

The process of selling a property can take months, during which time the market conditions may change, potentially reducing the value of the investment.

This illiquidity makes real estate a less attractive option for those seeking flexibility and quick access to their capital.

Geographic and Regulatory Restrictions

Real estate markets are often constrained by geographic boundaries and subject to complex regulatory frameworks that vary by region.

Investors are typically limited to purchasing property within their own country or must navigate a labyrinth of foreign investment laws if they wish to buy property abroad.

These restrictions not only limit investment opportunities but also introduce additional risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations, legal compliance, and understanding local market dynamics.
