Stake is a Dubai-based digital real estate investment platform that lets people buy fractions of income-generating property from as little as AED 500. Investors earn passive rental income and capital appreciation while Stake handles sourcing, acquisition, management and exit. Regulated by the DFSA in the UAE and the CMA in Saudi Arabia, the platform serves more than two million users across 181 countries and has expanded from Dubai into Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and US industrial real estate.
Landa was a New York fintech that let anyone buy fractional shares of single-family rental homes for as little as $5 through a mobile app, collecting monthly dividends from rent and any appreciation. Founded in 2019 by Yishai Cohen and Amit Assaraf, it packaged each property into its own LLC, managed the homes with proprietary software, and ran a secondary marketplace for trading shares. After raising $33M in equity and roughly $62M in debt and surpassing 200,000 registered users, the platform went dark in 2025 amid lender lawsuits, missed dividends, and a court-ordered receivership over 119 properties.
