small investors on the other hand, on the interest component already with small amounts in real estate projects. The runs on subordinated loans, whose risk of loss is high. So far, the platform has attracted investments totalling more than EUR 75 million and about half of them paid back. Example: 419, investors have a total controls one Million euros for the renovation of a Lidl-market in Dannenberg in lower Saxony, which was paid in March 2020 to 15 months.

The platform provides no investment advice, either for closed-end funds for the swarm of projects. However, interest module analyzes the offered real estate projects, and provides a transparent representation and selection on its website.

In view of the manageable investment amounts starting at 500 Euro, investors can participate in many different projects, instead of focusing everything on a single card. This protects against cluster risks. "Other platforms even allow you to significantly lower the minimum amounts, but from our point of view economically," says Wohlfarth.
