    AFTER years of steady gains, real estate markets across much of the world are now feeling the strain from rising interest rates and wider economic headwinds. Investors too are taking a hit as property values retreat and the era of cheap debt fades. 

    This, however, might be good news for RealVantage – a Singapore private equity real estate investment platform that provides individual investors with access to institutional-grade assets.

    The fractional real estate platform ventured into the private debt space early last year, offering investors secured debt financing deals under its portfolio of real estate investments. This happened well before the multiple interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve.
