If you have cryptocurrency to use for collateral, another option is to use those assets as collateral to receive funds to purchase a property NFT. For example, say you have $130k USD worth of BTC/ETH/XRP/LTC etc. to use as collateral, you can receive 70% of the value in cash, using the Bitcoin as collateral with Helio Lending. The benefits of this loan include no margin calls, interest as low as 4% p.a, no rehypothication, no credit checks, non recourse and no tax event is triggered by the transaction.

Using the $100k borrowed against your Bitcoin, you purchase a $100k Real Estate NFT to own wholly and debt free.

You now own a $100k unencumbered property via an LLC in an NFT, which is able to be borrowed against as a business loan through Helio Lending. You can leverage up to 70% of the Real Estate NFT value to receive up to $70k USD.

You still own $130,000 in BTC with $100,000 debt.

You now also own $100,000 in property with $70,000 debit

The extra $70,000 now available via the NFT loan you can use for home improvements, to buy more BTC, pay down some of the BTC loan or deposit for next real estate purchase.

You can now choose to pay down the initial debt with Helio using the $70k from the NFT. Reducing your debt for the BTC loan from $100k to $30k, with the existing $70k outstanding taking your total down to $100k. You then have $130k BTC, $100k debt and a $100k property.

You’ve now got an income generating asset with your property, you can use rental income to pay down the loan owed against the property, and you also have your BTC, which looking at historical data will have appreciated somewhat over the term of the loan. If it hasn’t appreciated in value, one of the major benefits of our loan product allows you to walk away from the loan with no recourse if your BTC value is less than when you initially staked your asset. If it has appreciated, you can choose to pay off the loan to receive your BTC back plus any upside.
