Guarantees and risk mitigation
The loan is secured against a tangible asset (property, vehicle, machinery) which can be repossessed and sold to recover your money if the borrower defaults
Main type
The originator undertakes to buy back the loan from you if the borrower is more than X days in arrears, repaying you the principal and interest. This is subject to the originator remaining solvent.
Buyback
A financial buffer that the platform sets aside from its own commission to cover defaults before they affect you. Its effectiveness depends on its actual size relative to the total amount lent.
Reserve fund
The originator invests a portion of its own capital in the same loan or portfolio alongside the investors, thereby aligning its interests with those of the investors in ensuring that the loan is repaid in full.
Skin in the game
Your uninvested money is held in an account separate from the company’s balance sheet, at a bank or regulated payment institution. If the platform goes bankrupt, that money is not included in the distribution to its creditors.

InvantAPPs Summary
What is Asterra Estate?
ASTERRA ESTATE is an Estonian-based property crowdfunding platform founded in 2025 that specialises in financing residential development projects in Latvia, with a particular focus on the development of Asterra Village in Ādaži. With an average annual return of around 15.57% and daily interest payouts, the loans are secured by second-rank mortgages. It is ideal for investors seeking high property returns and a steady cash flow, whilst accepting a high level of risk due to the lack of regulation and the high minimum investment of 1,000 euros.
It was founded in 2025 with a very niche focus: to finance the creation of a small 'town' or housing development comprising 136 plots, called Asterra Village, in Ādaži, Latvia. Behind the development of the platform is the property developer ESinvest, which has been operating in Latvia since 2016, providing a solid foundation of real-world property development experience compared to other purely financial platforms.
The business model is based on brokering and managing collections through Asterra Estate OÜ, an Estonian company incorporated with a share capital of just 10 euros. The platform acts as a database provider for projects, charging structuring and management fees to the promoters of its own brands (ESinvest and its subsidiary 8 Solutions), enabling investors to access high returns of up to 16% through loans with daily interest payments and automatic compound interest.
The team is led by Edgars Putnis, CEO and co-owner. Communication has been reasonably transparent, with regular progress reports on the works being published, although the corporate structure is complex and the minimum share capital of the Estonian holding company raises certain doubts about its soundness in a period of stress. However, a major milestone in April 2026 was its collaboration with the Latvian bank Industrabank Riga to refinance projects, a move which provides external institutional validation for the property developments, although it does not eliminate the risk associated with the platform itself.
As for recent changes, in early June 2026 the platform updated its user agreements to adjust the investment terms, whilst the total volume financed now exceeds 9.1 million euros. Despite these developments, investors should bear in mind that ASTERRA ESTATE operates without a financial licence (it is not subject to the European Regulation on Crowdfunding Service Providers or ECSP) and the loans are secured by second-ranking mortgages, which means we rank behind senior bank creditors such as Industrabank in the event of foreclosure.
At InvantAPPs, we view the daily cash flow and the attractive loyalty and bonus scheme very favourably (with cashbacks of up to 7% extra under certain campaigns), but we remain extremely cautious due to the enormous risk of concentration in a single development and the barrier to entry posed by the minimum investment of 1,000 euros per transaction. Nevertheless, given its excellent performance and solid on-site construction progress, we at InvantAPPs hold a very active position on the platform: we have personally invested 17,705.51 euros, achieving to date an outstanding cumulative net return (IRR) of 16.35%.
