What if some of that security could be shared by \u2014 and build up\u2014 communities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article is a thought experiment. Let\u2019s imagine how things could play out if local residents could invest small amounts in a building. How would this unfold? Could blockchain make community-based real estate investments happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital Approaches to Financial Accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, real estate investments were mostly for corporate actors and the wealthy. They\u2019ve long been very heavy on the paper chase and on gatekeepers. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blockchain could be one idea that makes space for change. One key reason? It allows people to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/from-crowdfunding-to-tokenization-the-evolution-of-shares-in-real-estate\/\">buy fractional shares<\/a> of a property. This is already allowing investors to team up and own properties together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this feature, blockchain could create on-ramps for investors with limited means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Elements: Tokens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One building can be divided. Digital tokens represent each owner\u2019s share. One property; multiple tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this model, what we know as traditional property rights are represented by digital tokens. Each token is backed by value, and each signifies an ownership share. All are indelibly etched onto the blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the token itself is a digital record of ownership. By investing together, all individual owners can hold high-value properties without the need to pay heavy costs upfront. This is why tokenization has the potential to make equity-building more inclusive. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parties Know Where They Stand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the deals we\u2019ve grown up with, fee-charging brokers and escrow accounts are indispensable. With blockchain, buyers and sellers can securely exchange property and act as custodians of the value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, blockchain-based transactions integrate smart contracts for money transfers once contingencies are met. They work automatically, rather than relying on fee-charging professionals. A smart contract becomes part of the blockchain\u2019s code, so the parties know their terms and conditions, and can always check in on where they stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And nothing can get lost. Property and title information are stored in one place, on a secure ledger. The transparency in this model reduces fraud risks as well as heading off disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This organizational tool is a key advance that blockchain could offer the real world of property ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Property Records, Simplified<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the <em>Business Law Digest<\/em> at the University of Southern California\u2019s Gould School of Law, Dawson Sanders writes on the concept of <em>blocktitle<\/em>. With digital technology, a property\u2019s full history of ownership, valuations, and even comparable property prices, along with all other relevant details, get etched onto the blockchain ledger. It\u2019s easy to verify information about the property. Relying on outdated or unrecorded information is no longer a risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Countries including Sweden and Georgia are showing the advantages of blockchain-based land registries, Sanders notes. <\/em>Sanders acknowledges that the United States is not exactly ready for such a transition overnight, but also points out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As property records in the U.S. continue to be digitalized, however, the costs associated with transferring registry data to a blockchain decrease.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if blocktitle<em> could<\/em> come, people have opportunities to build in socially healthful values. Affordability needs to be part of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blockchain for Good: What\u2019s Ahead?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many researchers have noted that blockchain tech potentially offers a tamper-proof system for the recording and storage of property records and titles. But there could be much more here. Blockchain technology has potential to strengthen communities. It can support conveyances of land and buildings without forcing people to hire lawyers and title companies, and without having to set up escrow accounts with third parties. These features could bring down costs, simplify transactions, and create open and reliable property records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this raises intriguing questions. Somewhere, someone\u2019s likely working on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/the-land-trust-approach-to-affordable-housing\/\">land trust<\/a> concepts with blockchain as support. The ability to pool resources makes this a potential candidate for state and local housing affordability toolboxes.
