Our September Cashback campaign is now in full swing, and we thought it would be a great idea to give our users a thorough explanation of how it works.
The idea behind the campaign is to encourage investors to diversify their portfolios by giving them a free bonus when they invest in opportunities carrying the Cashback symbol (CB).
How much you get back depends on the amount you invest and of course, how many loans you invest in.

In the age of low-interest rate loans, many investors are thinking about buying a real estate as an investment. Properties are popular types of investments due to various benefits. Not everyone, however, has enough capital to invest in the real estate market. Many banks require you to invest at least 20% to 30% of your own capital. In this article, we will show you how you can invest in real estate with almost no money.

The last year has been one of unprecedented growth for EstateGuru, so we’ve decided to take another detailed look at our loan portfolio.
Since our launch in 2014, we have funded an incredible total of €136,289,338. Last year was by far the biggest in EstateGuru’s history in terms of loan volume.
As part of our mission to give our investors as much diversification as possible, we offer loans on projects in six European countries, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Spain and Portugal.

In the residential segment, the number of properties sold grew by 19% and national prices rose more than 10% (in Lisbon the rise was 20%). The real estate market was very active in all the real estate segments and supply doesn’t keep up with the demand. Foreigners account over 50% of domestic property sales (led by British and French). 2019 will be the year for larger construction projects which will help to supply the continuing increase in demand. New developments coming on the market will increase substantially this year and growth will strengthen in the next, but still, the market is far from the building levels that were registered a decade ago. Portfolios of real estate assets and bad loans held by banks also will affect the market with increasing interest in alternative assets (healthcare, sports, specialised residences etc.).
