Interesting article that bridges the gap between your old school profession and present technology. One thing about real estate that really bothers me is the inability to tap into the home equity value of your residence without having to either take out a borrowed line of credit (pay interest) or sell the entire house. If someone could create a blockchain technology that facilitates the selling transaction to percentages of your residence ownership similar to stock, then that would facilitate a means to take some chips off the table without resorting to cash out completely (aka sell the entire house). I realize real estate is not like stocks and I heard about some pooled crowd funding idea for purchasing property, but not a true real estate "stock market" equivalent.
