## Resource

What if you could invest in real estate the same way you buy shares in a company? In this episode, I talk with Jerry Chu, founder of Lofty, about real estate tokenization — a new way of buying and owning property through digital shares. We break down how it works, how it’s different from traditional real estate investing, and why some people believe it could make real estate more accessible to a wider group of investors. We also talk about the risks, the role of blockchain, and what still needs to happen for this to become more mainstream. If you’ve ever wondered how technology might change the way people invest in property, this episode is a great place to start.
