One of the best and safest investment opportunities that people explore is the real estate investment. This is so because of its numerous advantages which include: it is a physical asset and allows for portfolio diversification, it is risk free over a long period of time, and it provides security to investors and many others. Real estate investment is growing worldwide due to these advantages and some other factors and it is evident from the most recent report from Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) which states that the global real estate market grew 15% from $7.4 trillion in 2016 to $8.5 trillion in 2017. Despites these achievements by the real estate investment, there are some drawbacks that needs to be addressed in order to improve its ease of use. The major drawback to real estate investment is illiquidity and the other is high entry amount which make it accessible only to people with high-net-worth or less affluent individuals who combine their savings to invest in this real estate investment. There are some solutions to address these challenges but they are not sufficient and hence the inception of Dominium.
