Lofty AI VS Walk Score

This is old news to many - but I've just properly looked into it... Lofty https://lofty.ai is a way of buying a share in a real "bricks and mortar" property (in the USA only at the moment). You get an income from the rent from the property - and the actual 'share' token is an ASA that can be traded outside Lofty. The website is very easy to use (they even allow on-ramping - which is a big win for newbies). Source: 11 months ago

And similar again - the above but focused on STO's or tokenized real estate. Many people out there want a investment property but cannot afford to buy one. They can afford a partial share of one however. Say a property is $1m. A user funds 10k. They are given 1/100 share of the property. They are then given a share of the yield this property earns and selling could be a lot more liquid. This one would be tough... Source: about 1 year ago

I would look on realtor.ca or an easier user interface would be condos.ca. Then look at walkscore.com at that point if you don't see a match for price and size to amenity, you'll know what the landscape is best. Source: 10 months ago

It depends on what neighborhood. If you're just going off of walkscore.com, etc, even though the city itself only gets a 56, many neighborhood are in the mid-high 80s. (East hills, Eastown, Midtown, etc). Source: 11 months ago

Perhaps look at walkscore.com also to assess the areas you are considering. Source: about 1 year ago

Keep in mind that those top 10 types of lists are driven by advertisers and are highly subjective. If finances are a consideration, there are MANY very walkable neighborhoods that are far lower cost of living. Use walkscore.com as a starting point. Source: about 1 year ago

Not owning a car really helped me save enough to buy a house in an old streetcar district. The weather is (usually) great so most trips are made via transit or bike. We're still car-free in our mid-50s. Try walkscore.com to find neighborhoods over 80. Ours gets a 91. Source: about 1 year ago
