Historically, development loans represent 41% of the platform’s offerings, bridge loans 40%, and business loans 18%. These debt instruments are backed with real estate collateral and a mortgage established on the collateral property.^[4] The collateral can be real estate, with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of up to 75%.^[5] Among the active campaigns, Estateguru loans range from €81,420 to €1 million.^[6] You can conveniently browse all historic and live Estateguru campaigns directly at P2PMarketData.

The minimum investment is €50 per project and the loan durations for current campaigns range from 12 to 18 months. Among the active campaigns, two have a repayment schedule every three months, seven have a monthly schedule, and one is a full bullet loan, which entails repayment of interests and principal at the end of the loan term.

Estateguru offers a secondary market where lenders can exit their investments early. The platform also offers an auto-invest feature to queue new investments.

The platform experiences a high total default rate of 17.32% with 5.11% fully recovered, while 50.18% of the outstanding portfolio is in default.^[8]

Estateguru imposes various fees on investors, including a €1 service fee for each withdrawal. Additionally, an AUM fee of 0.05% is charged on Performing Outstanding Principal. Inactive accounts, that maintain a positive balance without engaging in new investments for over 12 months, are subject to a monthly fee. On the secondary market, the platform charges sellers a 3% fee for selling claims. On the fundraisers’ side, EstateGuru charges 3-4% for successful funding and 0-2% in annual admin fees.
