Good to tokenize this industry but have you ever thought of making this unique and different from previous projects like RentBerry or so? If not, it is a big concern for investors.
It is not a new concept in a highly competitive market which requires a strong team to make it a success.
I like this one and a very good and experienced team. Be interested to learn more about estate in countries where there is a need for a local to hold 51% or so and also some of the tax implications of offshore ownership. Overall i like it though, key team need to do KYC

Another attempt to tokenize real estate, which in fact is just a form of issuing bonds for the purchase of a real estate, which will be chosen by the management company with almost no control over the quality of the object and its price ...

Hi Ilya!
Thanks for your opinion regarding Alt.Estate!
We believe that our approach to the idea of property tokenization is the most viable among all other options. We did deep research of the competitive landscape, you can see summary here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z56vh_Vu30KWhTkEfUkPvbupHZoi0Ks1qQEy2MhUhyQ/edit?usp=sharing
The property that will be listed on the Alt.Estate platform will go through due diligence procedures and professional appraisal process. We expect that institutional investors will account for more than 30% of funds raised for real estate investment (for example, according to this report http://www.ipf.org.uk/resourceLibrary/real-estate-crowdfunding-gimmick-or-game-changer-november-2016-report.html share of institutions in this industry varies from 25% in the UK to 73% in the USA) which means that quality control and track record are of the utmost importance for successful crowdfunding.
Regarding legal structuring of ownership on the first stage, we intend to use existing crowdfunding and real estate securitization models – primarily nominee trust scheme.
Example of such structure: crowdfunding for acquisition of the real property -> transfer of legal title to real property to SPV -> issuance of shares by such SPV -> entering into a nominee agreement with token holder, where the legal owner of shares (Alt.Estate) will hold such shares for the economic benefit of token holders.
Transfer of token from Alt.Estate to a token holder will constitute the proof of the conclusion of a nominee agreement. In the same way transfer of token from one token holder to another will prove conclusion of SPA or novation agreement between token holders. Acceptance by conduct is possible in most legal systems.
On the second stage, when the blockchain technology will be integrated into corporative legislation, tokens will represent the shares itself. This will allow replacing the contractual beneficial structure with corporate. For example, keeping the shareholders register on blockchain is already allowed in Delaware, USA.
On the third stage, when the blockchain technology will be integrated into real estate registration legislation, Alt.Estate will be able to completely integrate with state real estate registries. The progress is even here. Blockchain real estate transactions have been made in Vermont and Ukraine. Sweden is on the way to launch its real estate registry. UAE, Georgia, Russia consider the possibility to launch their real estate registries.

Lot of teams and companies working on similar ideas. It is to be seen who can tokenize real estate first and in the best way possible. It's a highly competitive market and I don't see any USP to make them stand apart. All the best!
The tokenization of real estate is coming. I like the idea and the concept of tokenizing and trading real estate on the blockchain. Execution will be key. They have a strong team of advisors from the likes of Kushman and Wakefield which is a plus. I will follow the project closely to see how it progresses.

Lots of real estate projects like these. Some will succeed, as long as they are not a way of selling non-viable off plan projects that could get finance traditionally. This one looks better than a lot of them.

Team - some good advisors, a little light on relevant experience in the core team. I worry about the lack of international legal advice available to the team. Real estate can be a minefield in certain jurisdictions and local knowledge is therefore paramount for everywhere the project will look to tokenise properties. A link up with an international law firm with a real estate bias would be a good move.
Vision - not an original concept, there are some projects trying to achieve the same objective. ICO raise distribution is covered, no real info in how the business will develop, and there are a lot of risks that the team seem to be aware of without making suitable provisions for. If the contracts are not deemed legal in certain jurisdictions, but a property has already been tokenised, where will the loss be made up? Again, my worries about legal knowledge for property acquisition and management come to the fore. Clarification regarding the decision making team is also needed - there are potentially useful advisors, but will they decide on which properties are added to the platform?
Product - MVP already running, looks good.
I like the concept for this project, and I think whichever project makes a success of real estate tokenisation will change the world and become a golden parachute for the core team when bought out by a big international real estate agency. But I just don't see how, with such low yields after charges twinned with both the opportunity cost of not investing in other tokens and the very real risks in tokenising real assets (strict adherence to securities laws per jurisdiction, strength of legal agreements on tokenised real estate etc) any real estate tokenisation projects are a worthwhile investment. That's my opinion however.
Good luck to the team and hopefully, with a few more legal advisors, you can make a real success of the project.

Looks like a promising project, well-elaborated, and so does its documentation, which is very important. MVP is available. Social media channels are quite crowded. So it is no surprise they quickly reached the soft cap. Looking forward to the next good news. Good luck.

Good:
• Nil
Bad:
• Webiste focus on ICO instead of the project itself, obviously a money-grab ICO
• Advertise heavily on website using the scores from various ICO rating sites.
• The team... no comment
• No hype AT ALL
• Backed by 2 unknown investors?
• Yet another real estate ICO. All previous real estate ICOs have failed terribly and I don't see how Alt.Estate will be able to succeed.
