You can still buy real estate, including property, homes, condos, even though you don't have sufficient trade available to pay for it. Typically, the buyer pays a 20-30% down payment in Trade Dollars. The balance is then financed with a barter mortgage, just like in the cash world.
ABE can make mortgages available to qualified buyers of real estate, where the monthly principal and interest is paid in Trade Dollars. You provide your product or service to ABE members and deposit the Trade Dollars into your account. A set amount is deducted from your account each month to cover the mortgage payment. Even better, ABE refers the new business you need to make the payments, and online sales can enable you to pay off the property even faster. It's that simple.
