‘Earn rental revenue ranging from €50 funding’. As of right now, Mintos* is promoting a brand new supply that it describes as passive property investing.
In reality, buyers are investing in Actual Property Securities, that are an interest-bearing debt safety backed by underlying bonds. Buying Actual Property Securities entitles the investor to obtain curiosity funds for the Notes each time web property funds are made on the underlying bonds and repayments when the underlying property is being offered.
So to summarise: If every part goes in line with plan there’s a month-to-month curiosity fee, which is fed from the hire, and on the finish a fee for the rise in worth, which is estimated however not assured.
The underlying properties are positioned in Austria and are available from the Bambus.io portfolio, which acquired them as a part of a partial buy. The older homeowners are due to this fact nonetheless dwelling of their properties and are actually paying hire for the offered portion (form of a reverse mortage).

Benefits for the investor:
- Good alternative for diversification
- These are rented residential properties (and never initiatives of property builders or industrial properties as with another platform affords)
- Make investments from as little as 50 euros
- Regulated supply
Disadvantages for the investor:
- Very long run (20 years within the instance)
- fairly illiquid (though a sale through the secondary market is feasible, it’s questionable whether or not there can be demand)
- No data on how the valuation was carried out and the way the rise in worth was forecast
The property from the primary supply was valued at 317,500 euros. Mintos* doesn’t present any additional particulars. Transient analysis (e.g. right here) exhibits that the valuation of two,500 euros/m² will not be overpriced. In line with the Bambus FAQ, the market worth of the partial buy carried out by Bambus is decided by an unbiased skilled. It may be assumed that the market worth decided on this means corresponds to the property worth acknowledged on Mintos.
Sadly, there aren’t any additional particulars on how the rise in worth was forecasted. In line with the prospectus, Bambus, which has been working since 2022, has not but offered any properties. So there is no such thing as a expertise but.
Is it price it? My first impression
In my view, the rate of interest provided is just too low for the very lengthy funding interval. It’s tough for me to evaluate whether or not the rise in worth has been realistically forecasted. In spite of everything, it might most likely be sufficient to cowl inflation.
Comparability with different investments
The query stays, why ought to buyers use the Mintos* supply as a substitute of different affords? I’ve began to construct up a portfolio with Inrento* in the previous few weeks. The property loans there supply a considerably larger rate of interest of 8-9% p.a., curiosity funds are additionally month-to-month and there may be additionally a fee for appreciation (1.5% p.a.). The benefit is the considerably shorter phrases of 1 to three years.
Estateguru* additionally affords considerably larger rates of interest of Sept. 11%. There may be additionally a bonus of as much as 2% on prime for bigger funding quantities. The phrases are additionally usually shorter at 12 to 18 months. Even making an allowance for the same old overdrafts of round one 12 months, the investor is rather more liquid than with the Mintos product.
Moreover there are exchange-traded REITs instead. These are rather more liquid and allow broad diversification.
