Congrats Yishai and team! I'm a happy investor through Landa, so cool to be able to buy fractional shares in real estate.

Best of luck 👍. Exciting times ahead 👍! Seems like everyone would love it. Do let me know if I can help spread the word ❤️.

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 Check us out at landa.app. Can’t wait to hear what you think! Happy to answer any questions you might have. 🙂 Cheers - Yishai

Loved 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!

Been using the product for about a week and the return rates are promising. I've used a LOT of REIT products in the past (and things like FundRise, RealtyMogul, etc.) and though I still like REITs, they focus a lot on large multi-unit properties and they tie up funds for 3-5 years typically. Landa focuses on smaller multi-unit and individual homes, which feels like a useful diversification in my portfolio. The details for rents collected, etc. also feel like much more transparency than what the large REITs offer. Landa isn't structured as a REIT but it's a lot of the same opportunity in terms of long-term residential rentals. It's more similar to PeerStreet but you can have much smaller stakes in each property (PeerStreet is a $1k min per property) and Landa is also more focused on passive income based on the rental not just the financing of a purchase (PeerStreet has a repay period of 1-2 years to finance purchases primarily). This will surely complicate my taxes next year, but I see it as a worthwhile price to pay to explore a new investment product. The main thing I'd like is a desktop web client. It's handy to have the mobile app when browsing for new properties to invest in, but when I'm doing performance analysis, I'm exclusively doing that work on desktop and exporting/copying from the mobile app is a pain to get that data into a Google Sheet with the rest of my investments. I'm sure it's on their roadmap, but here's a +1 vote for prioritizing that.

Showing Landa some love from my email this morning! Congrats on the launch. Wait...did we just make a hashtag? #LandaLove 🏠❤️

Terrible customer service. They have me blacklisted because I “triggered their fraud alerts” and now they refuse to speak to me. Terrible company, terrible people, terrible.

Revolutionises a traditional field entirely 😍 Can investors be able to hop around the world and pay rent (not only receive rent), sort of like AirBnB? Creating some sort of Landa currency...

I have been trying to get into real estate investing for a while now but it's always been so complicated and expensive. This seems like a really great way to get started without all of the hassles. What measures are in place to protect my investment? Is Landa regulated?

This is what true innovation looks like. Why deal with the complexity of investing in real estate when you can simply use Landa! Can’t wait to buy shares and further diversify my portfolio 🔥🏡

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?

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?

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?

This is exciting for real estate investors! Congratulations on the launch!

How do your tenants feel about your business and what you're doing? Have you spoke to them about it? Do your tenants own shares in their houses or your other properties?

First of all it's a good concept Yishai & Amit and much awaited one, appreciate the visuals and choices in Landa App, I am using it since May 2022. A few inputs from my side: 1) Balance update in the app: Pre/Post market Hours app behaves differently and sometimes it doesn't fetch the balance itself (a big red flag for a trading app), please have two set of APIs, one for fetching balance in trading hours and other one to provide you with a cache response or use one and have both features, seeing nil often gives me cramps. 2) While placing the order price it shows on the main screen is different and in order ticket price gets updated automatically (perhaps your algo fetches the seller and then map it with potential buyer) but its again problematic, show it like the trade ticket in most of websites Charles Schwab etc. Good job with showing the orders in queue though. 3) There is no way I will be sure that my order will be successful its a wild goose chase so show a probability factor based upon demand and supply, right now I left an order for month and it's not yet matched with a seller, think of showing up the probability for buy/sell, if it's allowed. 4) Being a small investment it's fine but are you guys planning to put some disclosures like funds are secured upto certain $$, same way we see on republic.co platform too. 5) Please show the rental yield for end users to take well informed decisions, every-time I gotta go inside the property looks for the lease duration, payments, dividend and then calculate the annual amount and think of the time how much it will take to get my money back off the dividends, all this can be done just add an extra field in your api rental yield and show it to end users. 6) Show a moving teaser for the folks who bought the shares last, something to excite me to buy more shares too. 7) Check out your API times, serious performance upgrade is necessary e.g. orders End point take forever to load, if there are too many calculations then use paging pick last 25 etc. 8) Buy order window also takes forever to load at least show some visual spinner. 9) Till this point of time I am not sure where are my rental dividends? Is it re-invested, added to my cash pool etc etc, please show them clearly somewhere. 10) Have more features like DRIP, Transfers, UTMA as yours is beautiful concept and I am sure you will have more and more to offer. All above are my own views and may be right or wrong, please do consider the legal / tech aspect before you look into them in more details. Good Luck.

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?

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, I'm very intrigued by this concept. What happens if the property I've invested in is sold? Can I get my money back? All in all, I really like the idea of being able to invest in real estate without having to deal with the hassle of being a landlord. Thank you very much, Itai

I love the idea of being able to invest in real estate without having to come up with a large down payment. Are the return rates constant or do they fluctuate?
