Re: Would you purchase Real Estate with Cryptocurrency?

If you talk about using crypto to buy real I don't know if you are specific to Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is a digital asset and money too, whereas Real estate are physical assets, Therefore if I'm holding a portfolio of Bitcoin, Then it makes no sense to using Bitcoin to acquire that property, I would rather use fiat or any stable coin to do so, except for the fact that I only have all my money in Bitcoin, and there's such need to diversify my wealth and own some landed properties or houses then I will use Bitcoin for the purchases.

Thanks for the info

I'm curious—would you buy real estate using cryptocurrency? With more sellers and platforms accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, it’s becoming a real option.

Would you go for it, or do you see issues like volatility, taxes, or legal concerns? If you have experience with crypto real estate deals, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Looking forward to your insights. 🚀🏡
Ohh wow, that's a pretty cool topic!!!  Smiley
But anyway, let jump to the main spot.

The country where I am affiliated with has imposed sanctions regarding crypto. Like, business dealing with crypto is prohibited. So firstly, I think it is not possible to do this in my country due to the government, and suppose if it is possible then let me tell you that I will never buy real estate in exchange for Bitcoin because according to me, Bitcoin is a valuable, privac and immutable asset, while real estate is an unnatural investment in which you have to handle many matters, and the returned ratio with respect to time is also low as compared to Bitcoin.

So I would recommend Bitcoin for myself as compared to real estate. Because Bitcoin has the advantage that it can store a big amount in a small hardware wallet that can easily carry with him everywhere. While real estate requires a security stance and you cannot carry it everywhere.

Thanks for the response.

The way it is most likely done at this point (in my state of NC and probably most states) is the person with the Crypto assets, finds a property, say $2,000,000 and needs to get the conversion done for the particular coin they want to use. The conversion escrow company that would be used has a conversion fee of 1%. This gets the conversion done and fiat then sent to the closing attorney as fiat currency.
At the time of the transaction a snapshot is taken of the value of the specific coin, that price is then converted to usd, then sent to escrow for the Real Estate transaction.
I'm a bit confused with the above two quotes for various reasons... First you mentioned "conversion escrow company" that handles the escrow & conversion parts for 1%, but on the next quote, you seem to have divided the process into two parts [excluding the very last part of the deals]. Which one is the accurate one? From where I am, both traditional and modern escrow companies don't handle the conversion part!

It goes from crypto holder to "escrow conversion company" (only one of these in the usa at this time) to attorney escrow (closing attorney for real estate deal) as fiat.

Although one of the use cases of Bitcoin is to serve as a medium of exchange but based on the traction Bitcoin get from institutional investors, and organization I believe it's hard to see a Bitcoiners that will use BTC as the payment for real estate unless if the person want to take profit, and do the payment in USDT.
Personally, This is what I would do if I were in the situation of acquiring real estate.

Bingo! Exactly right.

Unfortunately, crypto is still not accepted as a payment tool in every country in the world. In my country, it is illegal to pay any goods or services with crypto coins. So, there is no way to purchase Real Estate with Bitcoin or any altcoins. Here, we only have an option that we convert our crypto coins in local exchange to our national currency (Rupiah). Then we can purchase any good or service, including Real Estate.



That is the way it is here in the USA at this time.

Crypto coins are to volatile and the economy requires a stable form of currency for transactions. At the time of the transaction a snapshot is taken of the value of the specific coin, that price is then converted to usd, then sent to escrow for the Real Estate transaction. This causes the conversion company huge liability in case a crash happened at the exact time.

I am excited to see what the future holds and how the market can become more stable for wallet to wallet transactions instead of conversion. 

Being in Real Estate, this is one of my main focus points going forward.

I would never think of using the bitcoin in my portfolio to buy real estate unless if I have accumulated as much bitcoin and even after purchasing the real estate assets I should still be left with a reasonable amount of bitcoin in my portfolio because I would never want to become a no coiner .lastly the transaction fees is also one thing that should be put into consideration.

The conversion escrow company that would be used has a conversion fee of 1%. This gets the conversion done and fiat then sent to the closing attorney as fiat currency. Of course, all buyers will have to get the tax issues worked out with their CPA.

Until Digital Assets are more mainstream (possibly 5-10 years), this will be the way to make it happen.

But if I have the option of buying real estate with my Bitcoin for investment purpose then I will stay away from that because Bitcoin is more valuable asset then real estate. The worth of bitcoin is increasing exponentially with time that's why it's better to hodl your bitcoin rather then exchanging them with real world asset like real estate.
Partly youre right that it could do good since bitcoin value can increase in future but real estate too is same like bitcoin, you buy it and it also increases it value. Never seen a lot or house loses its value in time since like bitcoin its also a necessity and appreciate its value too in due time. In my opinion, doing both is better. Not against bitcoin but real estate is also something worth for if in any case we would trade our asset for that. Also it can generate revenue through rentals or new system right now like airbnb.

You make great points. Both are great investments. Thank you for your response.

Well, first of all I will answer with the assumption that I have the ability to do so. As long as the seller can accept it without involving Bank and other fees, I think it is acceptable for me. I don't know if it is possible outside my country, but as far as I know it is possible in my Country. But on the other hand, I feel it is not right to exchange a much more valuable asset like Bitcoin for exchange, unless you have so many other savings and it is only a few percent of the total, So I choose number 5 from OP question.

Thank you for the input.

It's going to be a sad moment to let go of the BTC holdings that I have but as long as I won't sell them all for a real estate, that will be fine.

I'll still hold and I think it's an ease of transaction if the property that I like to acquire can be purchased with Bitcoin or any other crypto that I have.

But I think, the process might be at ease but the taxes, I don't know yet on how it will go since I haven't done this personally.

Thank you for the response

It is possible now to get many coins converted to fiat and sent to an Escrow Agent/Attorney to close on homes.
A couple of us here in NC figured it out.
