The Promise—and Problem—of Tokenized Real Estate

Imagine being able to invest $5,000 in an apartment building instead of $50,000—and then, if you wanted your money back, simply sell your ownership interest to another investor almost like selling a stock. That is the promise behind tokenized real estate.

But turning real estate ownership into digital tokens is the easy part. What happens when hundreds of investors start buying and selling those tokens throughout the year? Who handles the K-1s, tax allocations, securities regulations, and all the additional investor administration?

In this episode, Vaibhav explores both sides of tokenized real estate: why it could dramatically expand access and liquidity, and the less obvious problems that may prevent it from becoming as simple as its supporters imagine.
