Huge thanks to @benln for the hunt!
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Yishai, co-founder and CEO at Landa. Landa enables anyone in the U.S. to invest in shares of residential real estate properties beginning with as little as $5.
@amitassaraf and I wanted to find a way to help individuals get excited about and involved in real estate investing. We discovered that the biggest hurdle to getting started is the financial barrier, so we built a scalable model where people can buy shares of real estate for a fraction of the cost.
Why Landa?
- High-net-worth individuals have access to real estate investing opportunities. We wanted to level the playing field and expand the accessibility window.
- There is a lack of technology platforms that allow investors to build out their real estate portfolio with ease. Landa fills this need - having built a mobile-first application where investors can buy and sell shares of properties in minutes.
- Upkeep and maintenance expenses are not only expensive but a major time commitment for investors. Landa owns all property management from 0 to 10.
- Researching real estate investments can be as resource-consuming and confusing as hiring the right real estate lawyer or broker and remains an obstacle prospective investors face. Landa conducts market and property research so that investors can invest in pre-vetted properties.
How Landa helps anyone invest in (the largest global asset class) real estate:
- Curated properties
- Real-time property updates (lease renewals, rent payments, renovations…)
- Start an account with a free share
- Buy/sell property shares

Can’t wait to hear what you think! Happy to answer any questions you might have. 🙂
Cheers
- Yishai

@benln @amitassaraf @yishai_cohen2 I'm interested to hear how you deliver the service to renters if you manage the real estate as a company and if it's still affordable for them if so many people try to gain profit, in a time of a housing crisis?

Map My MarketLoved it!
Super cool concept, I'm thrilled about how it allows me to make micro investments in multiple properties instead of putting all the eggs in one basket.
A major problem I've had with real estate investments is that the barrier to entry is so high, and mostly these are super complex investments.
These problems seem to be solved with your product.
That aside, I do have one question before I make an investment - can you please explain your security procedures? I'd like to be sure my investment is safe.
Thanks!

As a first-time investor, I am really excited about this app. It seems like it will be a great way to get started in real estate investing without a lot of the hassle. I have already downloaded the app and can’t wait to start using it! What happens if the property is not rented out?

@pastries_lover Thanks, Gal! Great question. Each property manages a balance of cash reserves; if a property becomes vacant, it uses its cash reserves to pay expenses while we find a new resident.

I'm curious about the long-term sustainability of this model. What happens when people stop wanting to rent and start buying again? What's your plan for this?

LandaMaker
@eden_eliel1 thanks for the important question! The last 50+ years have demonstrated that there will always be a rental market and we really don't see that changing. Fluctuations within the rental market cycle are normal just like drops and rises in any other market cycle. We built our model bearing this in mind in order to operate for the long run.

I'm usually not too quick to jump on new investing platforms/apps, but Landa seems like a great opportunity. The interface is user-friendly and the ability to invest with little money is amazing. But how secure is our investment? What are the safeguards in place to make sure we don't lose everything we put in?

After going through a foreclosure, I vowed to never invest in real estate again. But after hearing about Landa, I decided to give it a try. And I’m so glad I did! The app is so easy to use and I’ve already made money on one of my investments. One thing I am yet to figure out is the tax implications – can someone help me with that?

Hi @itay_flaysher - so glad to hear you are enjoying Landa! We have a comprehensive guide to understanding tax implications in our Help Center. There you will find information on relevant tax forms, as well as how dividends distributed by Landa are taxed. To get there - visit our website > help center > taxes.

My friend introduced me to this app and I must say, I'm pretty hooked. We're always looking for new investment opportunities and this seems like a really great way to get started in real estate investing. The only question I have is, what happens if the property I'm invested in goes up in value? Can I reinvest part of my return back into the app to buy more shares of that property, or do I have to cash out and reinvest the money elsewhere?
Report
LandaMaker
@dani_ioscovich great question! One of the most exciting aspects of real estate investing is that properties can appreciate over time. Dividends from appreciation or rental payments can definitely be re-invested right back into other properties on Landa.
