GLOBAL REAL ESTATE INNOVATION 🚀
In this fascinating episode of The Real Estate Investing Club, I sit down with Ricardo Johnson, founder of Oasis, who's revolutionizing how investors access luxury resort properties through blockchain technology. Broadcasting from sunny Seattle to Ricardo in Barcelona, we explore how tokenization is democratizing high-end real estate investment opportunities worldwide.
FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO TECH INNOVATION 📈
Ricardo shares his inspiring journey from starting as a simple inventory clerk in the UK to building a substantial short-term rental portfolio. When COVID-19 hit the hospitality industry hard, Ricardo pivoted toward international investments where he saw tremendous growth potential in markets like Dubai, which has experienced a staggering 70% capital appreciation over just 3-4 years!
REVOLUTIONIZING REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT 💡
What makes Ricardo's approach truly groundbreaking is how Oasis uses blockchain technology to fractionalize ownership of luxury properties. Rather than requiring $150,000-$200,000 to invest in premium resort real estate, investors can participate with as little as $5,000-$10,000 through tokenization. Ricardo explains the sophisticated legal framework they've developed, including:
"We set up an SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) which holds the assets. The investors directly own shares represented by tokens, with each token equaling one share," Ricardo explains. This creates a transparent, liquid investment where ownership rights are automatically updated on the blockchain whenever tokens change hands.
GLOBAL INVESTMENT CRITERIA 🌴
For those wondering how Oasis selects properties, Ricardo details their comprehensive approach to international markets. They target pre-construction developments in high-tourism areas like Tulum (Mexico), Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic, securing properties 20-30% below market value by purchasing during development phases.
"We look for growing tourism rates, established developers with proven track records, and regions with substantial capital deployment," Ricardo shares. Their focus on emerging luxury destinations allows investors to capture significant upside while enjoying rental income from these resort properties.
MARKET INSIGHTS AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 📚
Ricardo's book recommendations provide valuable perspective for aspiring international investors. He cites Donald Trump's "The Art of the Deal" for negotiation tactics and "Psycho-Cybernetics" for developing the self-image needed to succeed in global real estate. His advice to be patient reflects the long-term mindset necessary in this industry.
