Ask HN: Would you invest in real estate today? Why?
Context: My friends and I are starting a “Robinhood for real estate” – you can trade homes like stocks.
Our inspiration is that many ordinary people want to invest in real estate, but it’s still difficult for the average folks. Main bottleneck is usability.

Then, as a shareholder, you can either sell your shares to others or get paid when the home gets sold.
