Skyscraper for less than a PlayStation? In this episode, Mikey breaks down how real estate is getting tokenized and what it actually is, how $50 buy-ins and weekly rent can work, and the traps to avoid if you’re new to on-chain assets.
What’ you’ll learn:
Simple, non-tech explainer of blockchain (shared ledger) and NFTs as digital titles/receipts—not meme JPEGs.
Fractional ownership: Tiny entry points, rental payouts (often in stablecoins), and how secondary markets enable exits.
Real example: A tokenized single-family deal where dozens of everyday investors bought in and get rent distributions.
Why it’s getting big: Governments experimenting with records on-chain + major asset managers moving to tokenize traditional assets.
Before you ape in: Regulations & accreditation rules, liquidity isn’t guaranteed, smart-contract/hack risk, and leverage mistakes that wipe people out.
